Wigwam village motel was ran by my mother, Alma Binkley. It’s sad that know one knew about her. She was a bad ass, she was color blind when it came to peoples. Everyone was welcomed. Most of the motel on OBT wouldn’t let African Americans stay or eat in their motels, but not my mom she loved to feeding people.
I miss the past off this wonderful town before Disney World.
I didn’t know about this. Must have been an amazing sight to see.
