  • Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting an exhibit on the U.S. Women of WWII. This exhibit will open on Tuesday, May 5 and be on display at the museum until Saturday, May 30. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. There is no charge for admission, but donations are gladly accepted.

    During WWII, American women played a crucial role, serving in the war effort as members of the Women’s Army Corps (WACs), Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) of the U.S. Navy, the SPARs of the United States Coast Guard Women’s Reserve (Semper Paratus, Always Ready), the U. S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve (MCWR), and as WASPs (Women Airforce Service Pilots), as well as civilians working in war industries throughout the country. Over 350,000 American women served in the U. S. Armed Forces during World War II, taking on over 200 different roles. Their work filled vital positions that supported the war effort both at home and overseas and ranged from mechanics, pilots, and drivers to gunnery instructors, nurses, postal workers, and translators. During their service, 432 servicewomen lost their lives and 88 were taken prisoner.

    This exhibit will showcase the many contributions of women during WWII and explain the important roles they played in the war effort. Featured displays will include historic photos and authentic artifacts such as uniforms, handbooks, and even a practice aptitude test given to women applicants hoping to enlist. The exhibit will also highlight individuals like U.S. Navy Flight Nurses, who were among the first women to arrive at battles such as Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and will remember and honor many of the local women of Franklin County who served during World War II.

    Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

Mitchell and Danielle Wirsansky—is a dynamic collective of writers who gather regularly to foster creativity and support each other's craft.

The following year, their first staged reading event was held at the Monticello Opera House. Friends with the Write Stuff provides a nurturing environment for playwrights at various stages of their careers, from budding talents to seasoned professionals. During their meetings, members share drafts of their latest works, offer constructive feedback, and brainstorm ideas. They also organize staged readings, helping members refine their work and gain exposure. United by a common love for the theatre, Friends with the Write Stuff is dedicated to promoting creativity and excellence in playwriting.

    Proceeds from the Festival support the Theatre Tallahassee Youth Education Program.
