The Apalachicola Area Historical Society (AAHS) invites the public to an armchair Ghost Tour of the Chestnut Street Cemetery of Apalachicola, as part of their Spring Speaker Series. The Society has annually performed history-themed walks through the cemetery guided by local reenactors sharing the stories of some of the city’s founding mothers and fathers. However, this Spring’s tour will be held indoors on Saturday, February 21, beginning at 4:00 PM at the Carriage House of the Raney House Museum located at 126 Market St. in Apalachicola.

The program will be hosted by past Society president and former City Librarian Caty Greene and will draw from video tours recorded by the late Dolores Roux. Dolores was a native daughter of Apalachicola and was instrumental in starting the annual cemetery tour where locals offer an historical reenactment of the tales of the men and women buried in the city’s oldest cemetery.

Drawing from her personal memories of 20th Century Apalachicola and the stories of many of the city’s earlier townsfolk, hearing again Dolores’ recollections of those interred in the Chestnut St Cemetery will provide an enlightening and often humorous peek into Apalachicola’s history and some of the characters that shaped it.

This will be a unique opportunity to take a tour from a comfortable chair and with a guide who knew Apalachicola intimately. No tickets will be required for this event, though attendees are encouraged to arrive early as seating is limited. Admission is free, though donations are welcomed and will support the Historical Society’s programs.

These Speakers events are part of a well-established and popular series by the Apalachicola Area Historical Society with monthly speakers January through May and funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. Previous programs have covered Apalachicola’s predominantly African American North Side, Territorial City St Joseph, Early Maps of the area, Niles Register Florida History, the ice delivery industry, Cemetery Preservation, Apalachicola Historic Squares and more. For details, email to AAHS.Raney@gmail.com, leave a message at (850) 653-1700, or go to www.apalachicolahistoricalsociety.org.

The Apalachicola Area Historical Society (AAHS) will be presenting a free program entitled "Piracy! The Last Scourge of the Gulf" by Michael Thomin, Director of Education and Interpretation at the University of West Florida and Senior Research Associate with the Florida Public Archaeology Network. as part of their Spring Speaker Series on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 3:00 pm in a spacious, covered outdoor area adjacent to the Apalachicola Yacht Club, located at 170 Water Street, Apalachicola, FL. (Please note the new time and location for these programs.)

This presentation will explore the massive wave of piracy struck the Gulf of Mexico and terrorized shipping along the Gulf coast two centuries ago. Florida was especially dangerous for travelers. Jean Lafitte and Charles Gibbs, two of the most notorious pirates from this period, had close ties to the Florida panhandle. One case of piracy even wound up in the court of West Florida in Pensacola and made newspaper headlines across the nation. This talk examines some of the broader aspects of piracy during the early 1800s in the Gulf and Caribbean. It also focuses on the current archaeological evidence for possible pirate ships from this period that wrecked beneath the waters of the Gulf.

Mike Thomin is the Director of Education and Interpretation at the Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Coordinating Center and a Faculty Senior Research Associate at the University of West Florida. With an M.A. in history/public history, Mike has dedicated nearly two decades to his career as a museum professional, specializing in public archaeology, heritage education, historic preservation, and nonprofit management. He has worked with local communities, state, federal, and international partners on heritage projects through grants and collaborations, both in the United States and abroad. He is also a Florida Master Naturalist. Additionally, he co-authored a chapter in the book Deadman’s Chest: Even More Archaeology of Piracy (University of Florida Press, 2023).

These Speakers events are part of a well-established and popular series by the Apalachicola Area Historical Society with speakers January through May on Saturdays, mid-month. Previous programs have covered Apalachicola’s predominantly African American North Side, Territorial City St Joseph, Early Maps of the area, Niles Register Florida History, the ice delivery industry, Cemetery Preservation, Apalachicola Historic Squares and more.

Admission is free. Seating is limited so come early for a spot. For details, email to AAHS.Raney@gmail.com, leave a message at (850) 653-1700, or go to www.apalachicolahistoricalsociety.org. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
