Eglin AFB and Valparaiso, Florida: A Long History

hueyrescue — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:11:42 +0000

Eglin Air Force Base owes its existence to the City of Valparaiso. Mr. James Plew leased 137 acres to the city and a small airfield was built. The field was subsequently given to the federal government and was used as an auxiliary field for Maxwell Army Air Base. In 1937, Mr. Plew donated an additional 1500 acres for use as a gunnery range and the federal government made 340,000 acres of adjacent land available to the Army Air Corps. This entire area became Eglin Air Force Base. Eglin and Valparaiso continue to enjoy a good relationship and many residents of the city are active duty or retired military members. This year, Eglin will produce an airshow; its first in more than 6 years. If you live at 316 Ohio Ave, you’ll be a 7-minute drive from the show. It promises to be good and will feature the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightening II, both 5th generation fighters.

Valparaiso, Florida: Saturday In the Park

hueyrescue — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:29:54 +0000

Saturday In the Park is coming soon to Valparaiso. This wonderful annual festival is held in the Valparaiso Historic district and is sponsored by the Heritage Museum of Northwest Florida. The Heritage Museum is a wonderful treasure of history involving the Emerald Coast region, specifically Destin and Valparaiso. Eglin AFB plays a large part in that history as does Hurlburt Field and Duke Field. Jimmy Doolittle’s Raiders trained here in preparation for their attack on the Japanese mainland. Saturday In the Park involves music, arts, crafts, homesteading demonstrations and numerous vendors. It is a great opportunity to view our beautiful old downtown which was designed with three beautiful vistas of the Choctawahatchee Bay at the termination of 3 perpendicular roads. If you live at 316 Ohio Ave, you’re only a pleasant 7-minute walk away from this wonderful festival. The house is for sale now.

Valparaiso, Florida: Fishing village

hueyrescue — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:34:51 +0000

I’d say nearly 60% of our residents actively fish in the Choctawahatchee Bay. We are a bay-side Florida town, after all. You can find flounder, redfish, crab, mullet and several other species right off the town’s three fishing piers. One of the last remaining independent shrimpers in the Emerald Coast area docks right up to the shore, 300 yds from 316 Ohio Ave. This beautiful all-brick home is on one of the best streets in town. One end of the street features the local seafood market, the other features our local bank and the Post Office. You can walk everywhere in our little town. Eglin AFB, Florida is a short trip by car and an equally short trip by bicycle if you like. Duke Field is a short 10 minute commute and your traveling in the opposite direction of most commuter traffic. Come see our custom loft-style renovation.
