SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Commemorating D-Day
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit Commemorating D-Day. This exhibit will open on the anniversary of D-Day\, Tuesday\, June 6\, and will be on display until Saturday\, July 15.  The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. (Closed Sunday & Monday.) There is no charge for admission\, but donations are gladly accepted. \nWhen Camp Gordon Johnston opened in 1942 in Carrabelle\, FL\, its main purpose was to train entire infantry divisions\, including the U. S. Army’s 4th Infantry Division and their support units in amphibious warfare. This training and the men who trained here would be put to the test on the heavily fortified beaches of Normandy\, France on D-Day\, June 6\, 1944. The first amphibian infantry assault teams to arrive on French soil were from the 4th Infantry Division at Utah Beach. The D-Day invasion was the largest seaborne invasion in history and included over 100\,000 Allied troops. \nThis D-Day exhibit will include the personal papers and other items from the family of Capt. John E. Mellen\, who commanded the 818th Amphibious Truck Company and was with them from their training at Camp Gordon Johnston through the end of the war and beyond. The 818th trained at Camp Gordon Johnston late 1943-early 1944. The 818th deployed to England to prepare for the invasion of Normandy and was attached to the 1st Engineer’s Special Brigade and landed on Utah Beach\, June 6\, 1944. For this they received a Meritorious Unit Citation and Croix de Guerre with palm. Five members of the 818th received Bronze Stars for their actions on that day. \nThe Carrabelle Beach Assault video will be shown throughout the day running every 10 minutes. This Army training short film shows the D-Day training as it happened on Carrabelle Beach during March of 1943.  There are several well-recognized photos of the Carrabelle Beach assaults taken from this video footage\, which was filmed by the U.S. Signal Corps. The amphibious training conducted at this site was to be the last training before shipping out to England. \nAlso during this exhibit\, there will be other displays to honor D-Day\, including an interview of a 28th Infantry Division veteran that trained at the Camp\, the three WWII military vehicles and the replica Higgins Boat on display. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located at 1873 Hwy 98 West\, directly across from the very beach where the beach assault training occurred in 1942-1943. Carrabelle Beach was the site of many practice beach assault landings. 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:Special Exhibit: Operation Husky\, the Invasion of Sicily
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit on Operation Husky\, the invasion of Sicily.  This exhibit will open Tuesday\, May 2 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, June 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. \nOperation Husky was the invasion of Sicily in 1943\, planned by the Allies in North Africa as they swept the Germans and Italians from that continent and prepared to move on Italy. This operation involved a set of top secret diversions\, including fake units and communications and the famous ruse by British Intelligence known as Operation Mincemeat\, which convinced the Germans that Sicily was not the intended landing after North Africa. \nThe Museum will reference a set of top secret plans that were printed just 20 days before the commencement of the operation\, which involved amphibious landing of infantry and armor as well as parachute operations by the 82nd Airborne. It is also a secret as to why the museum holds this set of plans! \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.

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 Tuesday\, April 4 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, April 29. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm.

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. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And this year will be remembered on Wed\, Apr 19\, 2023. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West.
