 Hey everyone, welcome back to the Amazing Blog of Florida!! Today I want to take you along and talk about something that many of you all may not know existed. I want to bring you into a tiny part of my hometowns history. Callahan, Fl was established in 1911 by two local railroads collided. This gets us into what we are here to talk about today.  On September twenty-fourth , I visited The Callahan Depot, at my towns heart. I was accompanied by my brother, Bishop. During this time, we arrived at around five O'clock and left around six. We were able to go after his football game so his outfit may be a tiny bit different!
