SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Honoring our African American Servicemembers
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit in recognition of Black History Month honoring  the service of African-American servicemembers in WWII. This exhibit will open Tuesday\, February 3\, 2026 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, February 28\, 2026. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET and there is no charge for admission.  \nAfrican Americans served in large numbers during WWII despite being denied full rights as American citizens. They served in segregated units in both the Army and the Army Air Corps\, one of the most recognizable being the Tuskegee Airmen. Many African American soldiers trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in transportation units such as Amphibious Truck Companies\, where support units often worked close to combat and came under fire. \nAt Camp Gordon Johnston\, these Amphibious Truck Companies trained in the use of the amphibious truck known as the DUKW\, using the bay and sandy beaches in Carrabelle and all along the Forgotten Coast to practice operating\, loading and unloading these truly amphibious vehicles. The Museum continues its research into the units that trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in Carrabelle and served in World War II including being part of the campaign on Iwo Jima.  \nThis exhibit will share what has been uncovered about these servicemen who\, like many African Americans of the era\, served their country with honor in a still-segregated military and faced significant challenges along the way. \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 Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

SUMMARY:French\, Spanish & British Years: From Discovery to an Exceptionally American Florida: History Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is proud to present a fascinating speaker program\, “French\, Spanish and British Years: From Discovery to an Exceptionally American Florida”\, featuring Clinton Flowers\, Interpretive Aide at the Missouri State Museum. This free program will be held Saturday\, February 7\, 2026\, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET at C-Quarters Marina\, 501 St James Ave (Hwy 98)\, Carrabelle\, FL. \nFlowers will discuss the critical events and interactions among France\, Spain\, and Britain that contributed to the development of the modern State of Florida. The narrative encompasses episodes of conflict\, deception\, and strategic alliances\, while recognizing the enduring legacies of Florida—now celebrated as the “free state of sunshine!” \nThe Louisiana Purchase of 1803\, though not directly including Florida\, transformed the young nation and indirectly reshaped Florida’s role. Occurring during a period characterized by exploration\, conquest\, and expansion\, it marked a major enhancement of American power\, providing new territory\, resources\, wealth\, and international influence. Once ruled by Spain\, then Britain\, then the U.S.\, Florida’s path to statehood reveals a layered history. While many believe Spain made the first permanent settlement at St. Augustine in 1565\, the French actually established one earlier in 1562—decades before Jamestown. Divided into East and West Florida\, the region remained outside the Continental Congress\, yet was deeply entwined with America’s expansion story. \nClinton Flowers works as an Interpretive Aide at the Missouri State Museum\, a history and cultural division of Missouri State Parks\, in the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. He has retired from a career as Program Manager in the Missouri Department of Economic Development. Flowers has a Bachelor’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration. As a certified Interpretive Aide\, he provides guided tours and has developed history programs about our nation’s westward expansion\, Lewis and Clark\, the steamboat industry\, and the Louisiana Purchase. In addition\, he has been a long-time visitor to Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Flowers brings both expertise and personal passion to this talk. \nThere is no fee for this program but donations are welcome. Sponsored by C-Quarters Marina and Shaun Donahoe Realty. For more information\, visit www.carrabellehistorymuseum.org or contact carrabellehistorymuseum@gmail.com  or 850-697-2141. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
