Did you know that Greenwood has just under 5 square miles of land? It is located in the NE portion of Jackson County Florida. It was established in 1824 and incorporated in 1927. The East-West street through Greenwood is named Fort Road, it originally began as a fort on the Apalachicola River and running westward to Pensacola. The Erwin House is one of the oldest in the county. It was built in the 1830’s.
Most recently Greenwood has been in the news for providing a key resource to it’s community. A month after Hurricane Michael a fire destroyed the one place where locals could get groceries and grab a hot meal. Greenwood Baptist Church is helping by providing food and clothing for free. On Saturday 100’s of cars lined up to drive through and be given food.
Upcoming events: Wednesday May 1st, Save The Closet will be at the church from 10am to 7pm. Those in need will be able to go get clothes for free. They will also receive a bag of food. And on Mother’s Day May 12th, they will be holding a service at 10:45am with a luncheon and flowers for all Mom’s. Follow them on FB for more events. http://greenwoodbaptist.org/
One of the many reasons I love The Panhandle and call it home!
