SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Vintage Office - Relics from City Hall's Past
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is pleased to share a special display\, “Vintage Office – Relics from City Hall’s Past”. This display is open now through Sunday\, June 1. This unique exhibit offers a nostalgic look into the daily workings of Carrabelle’s city government and the tools that helped keep the city running. 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. \nStep back in time and explore original artifacts from Carrabelle’s historic City Hall office. This fascinating display features an authentic 1953 Underwood Standard Typewriter used by the Assistant City Clerk Mary Mathes\, a mechanical adding machine\, official city log books\, a municipal court log from the 1940s (showing lots of charges of fighting and disorderly conduct)\, and a small black book belonging to City Clerk Charles Lee Daniels. Visitors can also see vintage receipt books\, the original city seal stamp\, and an assortment of rubber stamps once used for municipal business—each item offering a tangible link to Carrabelle’s mid-20th century administration. \nTypewriters revolutionized record keeping. Before their widespread use\, government staff painstakingly hand wrote every record. The introduction of typewriters marked a new era of efficiency and organization in municipal operations. \nWhether you’re a history buff\, longtime local\, or curious visitor\, this special exhibit brings to life the everyday workings of Carrabelle’s past and celebrates the people  and processes behind the paperwork. \nThe Carrabelle History Museum is located at 106 SE Avenue B\, in historic downtown Carrabelle\, FL.

SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Liberation of Paris
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting an exhibit on the Liberation of Paris during World War II. This exhibit will open on Tuesday\, May 6 and be on display at the museum until Saturday\, May 31.  The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm.  The museum will also be open special hours on Sunday\, May 25 and Monday\, May 26\, 12 to 4 pm to honor Memorial Day. Admission is free\, though donations are gladly accepted. \nThe exhibit will present the military and civilian efforts that led to the liberation of Paris on August 25\, 1944\, after four years of German occupation. The liberation was a turning point in World War II\, involving the strategic efforts of the Allied Forces\, Free French forces\, and the French Resistance. As Allied troops advanced through France following the D-Day invasion\, the citizens of Paris\, led by resistance fighters\, initiated an uprising against the occupying German forces. The Allies initially did not consider Paris to be a priority at first\, but the push by the French\, who felt the need for this symbolic city to be cleared of Germans\, changed their mind. \nSupreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the intervention of the Free French 2nd Armored Division\, led by General Philippe Leclerc\, alongside the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. After intense fighting and the strategic surrender of German forces under General Dietrich von Choltitz\, Paris was officially freed on August 25\, 1944. \nThe exhibit features compelling historical photographs and firsthand accounts from soldiers in the U.S. 4th Infantry Division – one of the first American units to enter Paris. Known as the “Ivy Division\,” the 4th played a crucial role in the D-Day landings at Utah Beach and the subsequent campaign across Nazi-occupied France. Their dramatic entry into Paris along with the French 2nd Armored Division marked a defining moment in the war. The 4th Infantry were trained in amphibious assault at Camp Gordon Johnston. This preparation proved vital throughout their combat operations. \nVisitors to the exhibit will gain insight into the soldiers’ experiences and the broader significance of their actions\, from their training at Camp Gordon Johnston to their role in liberating one of Europe’s most iconic cities. \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.
