The 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.
The 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.

This exhibit will open Tuesday, February 4, 2025 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday, March 1. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm and there is no charge for admission.
Charles Henry Alston (1907–1977) was an artist who used his talents to inspire change and support the US war effort. Alston was the first African American supervisor for the Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) Federal Art Project and he created the iconic bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which resides in the Oval Office. During WWII he also served as a member of the Office of War Information.
During World War II, Alston created motivational posters and illustrations aimed at African American audiences, highlighting topics such as conserving resources, growing victory gardens, and supporting the war effort through unity and action. His work celebrated the accomplishments of notable African American individuals, such as Willa Brown, the first African American woman pilot in the United States, and also fostered pride within the community.
The exhibit will feature reproductions of Alston’s wartime illustrations and posters, along with details about his achievements, including promoting the arts and art education in Harlem and the US. Visitors will gain insight into how Alston’s art helped boost wartime morale and promoted African American contributions to the war effort.

This event, taking place on Friday and Saturday, February 21 and 22, 2025 in Apalachicola, FL, will celebrate dogs and their people. All visitors and their furry friends are invited to join this paw-some event.
The theme for the 2025 event is “Game of Bones – the Canine Kingdom Rules”. It will be tail-wagging fun to journey into an imaginary world of canines and castles. Parading pups and their people will be wearing costumes inspired by the noble houses of the Seven Kingdoms. Guests can expect regal kings and queens, magicians, brave knights, rogues, lots of daring dragons, and a mystical creature or two. The creativity and spirit guests bring to this spectacle of sword and sorcery will be a sight to see.
New this year, the festivities kick off with an exciting day of fun and frivolity on Friday, February 21, from 2:00 to 8:00 pm ET. Guests can enjoy the Fido-Do, an old-fashioned Mardi Gras street event. Highlights of Friday’s activities include street entertainment, an adopters reunion, live music, a beer and wine garden featuring local craft brews, costume and decorating contests, dragon relay races, and a live auction.
On Saturday, February 22, 2025, the festivities will run from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm ET at Apalachicola’s Riverfront Park. While strolling through the park, guests enjoy live music, street entertainers, and more than 40 local vendors offering a variety of food and arts and crafts to enjoy. Saturday’s parade of decorated golf carts, boats, floats, and walkers – both the four-legged and two-legged kind – begins at 1:00 pm ET. The parade of costumed dogs and their people kicks off at Riverfront Park and winds through town, ending back at the park where the party will continue with all kinds of raucous fun. Registration is $5 for walkers, $25 for golf carts, and $50 for floats. Canine companions, of course, are free.
The parade isn’t just for fun; it’s also for a good cause. The Mystic Krewe of Salty Barkers is partnering with local animal rescues to raise awareness and funds for animals in need. Not only will attendees have a great time, but they will also be making a difference for injured animals and those looking for their forever homes. The King and Queen of Apalachicola’s Mardi Gras parade are always shelter animals who are ready for a forever home. As always, they will have a place of honor in the parade.

Flora Fusion: Exploring the Connection Between Plants and People - Speaker Program
2025-02-08 10:00 - 12:00 | C-Quarters Marina, 501 St. James Ave., Carrabelle, 32322, United States
The Carrabelle History Museum is presenting an interesting speaker program entitled “Flora Fusion: Exploring the Connection Between Plants and People”.

There is no charge for this event.
Barbara Clark will dive into the fascinating relationship between people and plants in Florida, and how it has shaped culture throughout time. Native Americans and some early settlers depended on their surrounding environment to meet their essential needs, as their grocery store, hardware store, and pharmacy. Because of this, the plants around them played an important part in their everyday lives, serving as resources for food, medicine, tools, storage, transportation, dyes, and shelter. For thousands of years, people in Florida have been learning about plants and their many uses. Archaeologists continue to uncover the diverse ways plants were used by Florida’s prehistoric inhabitants and early settlers. This presentation explores the fascinating roles plants played in Florida’s history.
Barbara Clark, Regional Director for both the Northwest and North Central Regional Centers of the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN). She is a Registered Professional Archaeologist who specializes in historic archaeology, 19th and early 20th century and is also a board member of the Florida Archaeological Council and Chair of the Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation. Her favorite areas of expertise include advocacy at the state and local level, historic cemeteries, and disaster planning.
