SUMMARY:Special Exhibit Honoring Carrabelle’s African-American Pioneers
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is pleased to announce a special exhibit for February in honor of Black History Month\, recognizing the remarkable achievements of several notable African-American individuals with ties to Carrabelle. This exhibit will be open from Wednesday\, February 5 through Sunday\, March 2. Visitors can explore the exhibit at the Carrabelle History Museum on Wednesdays from 12 to 5 pm ET\, Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 am to 5 pm ET\, and Sundays from 12 to 5 pm ET. Admission is free\, with donations warmly welcomed. \nThe exhibit offers an inspiring journey into the lives of just a few of the extraordinary individuals who exemplify the resilience and talent of Carrabelle’s African-American community. John C. Robinson\, the “Brown Condor” and “Father of the Tuskegee Airmen\,” overcame significant barriers to pioneer aviation achievements and contribute to Ethiopia’s resistance against Mussolini’s forces. John Jordan “Buck” O’Neil\, a celebrated Negro Leagues baseball star\, became Major League Baseball’s first African-American scout and coach\, co-founding the Negro League Baseball Museum and earning the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  \nThe exhibit also shares the story of Abraham Allen\, one of Carrabelle’s original founders\, who laid a foundation for progress\, while his daughter\, Laura “Aunt Laura” Wiggins\, became a cherished midwife\, delivering babies and providing care for the community. The legacy continues with Aunt Laura’s granddaughter\, Classie Lowery\, known as the “Mother of the Hill\,” who raised and educated 26 children while dedicating herself to faith and community service.  The exhibit also honors the broader contributions of Carrabelle’s African-American community\, highlighting their vital roles in shaping the town’s early history and culture. Visitors are invited to celebrate these remarkable lives and achievements. \nThe Carrabelle History Museum is located at 106 SE Avenue B\, in historic downtown Carrabelle\, FL.

SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Remembering the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting an exhibit to remember the Holocaust\, Hitler’s program to commit genocide against those he deemed unworthy\, especially Europe’s Jews.  This exhibit will open on Tuesday\, April 1 and be on display at the museum until Saturday\, May 3.  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.   \nBeginning in 1933\, the German Government established prison\, labor\, concentration\, and extermination camps throughout their territories\, including in countries they occupied before and during the war. Groups that were arrested and detained included Roma\, Communists\, Jehovah’s Witnesses\, homosexuals\, the disabled and especially Jews. Some 12 million people perished in the more than 44\,000 facilities\, ghettos and killing fields across Europe\, including 6 million Jews. The Museum acknowledges the need for all citizens to understand this dark period of history\, what caused it\, who perpetrated it\, and how some resisted and fought their captors. Eyewitnesses such as survivors and the soldiers that liberated these camps are aging and dying\, but many have told their stories. Visitors are invited to come see this sobering exhibit\, and help our society remember those that were victims of atrocity\, prejudice\, and hate.  \nThe internationally recognized date for Holocaust Remembrance Day corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar and it marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which started on April 19\, 1943. In Hebrew\, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. In 2025\, Yom HaShoah will be recognized beginning at sunset on the evening of Wednesday\, April 23 – Thursday\, April 24. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, contact the museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
