The Carrabelle History Museum is excited to announce the extension of its nostalgic exhibit, “Vintage Office – Relics from City Hall’s Past,” now on display through Sunday, June 29. The exhibit offers visitors a glimpse into the workings of Carrabelle’s city government in decades past. Step into the office of yesteryear and explore a collection of authentic artifacts used by city officials to keep the town running smoothly. The Carrabelle History Museum is open Wednesday from 12 to 5 pm ET, Thursday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm ET, and Sunday from 12 to 5 pm ET. Admission is free, with donations gratefully accepted.

Among the artifacts highlighted are historic city log books, a municipal court log from the 1940s—complete with charges like fighting and disorderly conduct, original City of Carrabelle ballot boxes and paper ballots once used in local elections, a classic 1953 Underwood Standard Typewriter used by Assistant City Clerk Mary Mathes, a vintage mechanical adding machine, and the black ledger from longtime City Clerk Charles Lee Daniels, who faithfully served Carrabelle for 34 years. These intriguing pieces tell the story of the city’s administrative past and provide a tangible connection to Carrabelle’s civic heritage.
The Carrabelle History Museum is located at 106 SE Avenue B, in historic downtown Carrabelle, FL. For more information, visit www.carrabellehistorymuseum.org or contact carrabellehistorymuseum@gmail.com or 850-697-2141. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
