Guests are invited to view the storyboards (but not enter the properties) at their own pace during this event.

What if the homes, historic locations and buildings in Apalachicola could talk? What stories would they tell? The Apalachicola Area Historical Society invites guests to find out by viewing storyboards placed in front of notable homes, businesses, parks, and historic sites. Created by property owners, these displays share interesting and sometimes odd historical facts and stories of these Apalachicola places and their past residents. The self-guided format allows visitors to explore the town at their own pace, choosing their own route and schedule while following a tour of photos, maps, and narrative text, bringing local history to life in an accessible way.

Maps, showing storyboard locations, will be available soon at the Raney House Museum at 128 Market Street, the Apalachicola Bay Chamber at 73 Avenue E, Oystertown Books at 67 Commerce Street, Franklin County Visitor Center at 731 US 98 Eastpoint, the Apalachicola Margaret Key Public Library at 80 12th St., online at Apalachicolahistoricalsociety.org and at the AAHS Facebook page. Guests can use the map to visit a variety of storyboard locations of their choosing including businesses, parks, historic homes and more.

For more information, please call and leave a message at (850) 653-1700, email AAHS.Raney@gmail.com, or check online at www.apalachicolahistoricalsociety.org. The Raney House Museum at 128 Market Street at the corner of Avenue F in historic downtown Apalachicola and is open from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Tuesday through Saturday.
