  • The Carrabelle History Museum is proud to announce the expansion of its Military Veteran Tribute Exhibit, in honor of Veterans Day, which pays tribute to several local men who served in the armed forces from WWI to Vietnam. This deeply meaningful exhibit has resonated deeply with the community and the families of these veterans and will soon include a new honoree. The identity of this local veteran will be revealed at a grand reopening reception.

    The expanded exhibit will continue to honor several other military veterans with deep ties to Carrabelle, showcasing their stories of service and sacrifice. The reopening reception will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 pm on Sunday, November 3, with a special tribute to veterans past and present. The exhibit will run from Sunday, November 3, through Saturday, November 30, 2024, at the Carrabelle History Museum. Visitors are welcome on Wednesdays from 12 to 5 pm, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 10 am to 5 pm, and Sundays 12 to 5 pm. Admission is free, and donations are gratefully accepted.

    The exhibit features a variety of fascinating artifacts generously shared by the families of these men and on loan from the Camp Gordon Johnston Museum, offering a glimpse into their military service and lives. Tamara Allen, Director of the Carrabelle History Museum, expressed her appreciation, saying, “I’ve heard from several family members and have even had the privilege to show the exhibit privately to some. The reception this display has gotten from them and from our community as a whole has been heartfelt and positive.”

    The museum extends a special thanks to the families of the honored veterans for sharing their stories and treasured items. Additionally, the museum is grateful for the support of Lisa Keith-Lucas and Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum, whose invaluable collaboration helped make the exhibit possible. The Carrabelle History Museum warmly invites the public to visit and celebrate the legacy of these local heroes.

    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.
  • Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is excited to announce a special exhibit honoring Native American Servicemen, opening Tuesday, November 5 and on display until Saturday, November 30, 2024. November is National Native American Heritage Month, and the museum salutes their service and sacrifice. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm with free admission. It will be closed Thursday, November 28 for Thanksgiving.

    “During World War I and World War II, hundreds of American Indians joined the United States armed forces and used words from their traditional tribal languages as weapons. The United States military asked them to develop secret battle communications based on their languages—and America’s enemies never deciphered the coded messages they sent. “Code Talkers,” as they came to be known after World War II, are twentieth-century American Indian warriors and heroes who significantly aided the victories of the United States and its allies.

    The Code Talkers’ role in war required intelligence and bravery. They developed and memorized a special code. They endured some of the most dangerous battles and remained calm under fire. They served proudly, with honor and distinction. Their actions proved critical in several important campaigns, and they are credited with saving thousands of American and allies’ lives.”

    Visitors are invited to learn about the Native American Servicemembers, including members of the Choctaw, Navajo, Cherokee, Pima, Comanche and other nations that served their country in World War II. Guests can discover the story of the Code Talkers, who used their unbreakable code based on their native tongues to help defeat the enemy and the stories of the seven Native American Medal of Honor Recipients from WWII.

    Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West.
