The Camp Gordon Johnston Association is applying for
funds from the State of Florida to help build a new museum building at
Carrabelle beach and is seeking support from local business owners to secure
the funding.
Their plan
is to build a new 6000 square foot museum building there to put the museum on a
main thoroughfare near a popular tourist location.
The Camp Gordon Johnston Museum
is the only World War Two Museum in North Florida.
It’s currently located at the
Carrabelle Municipal Complex but because
of the deteriorating condition of the complex, the museum will either have to move
or shut down.
By
moving to Carrabelle beach, the museum believes it can double its annual
visitor numbers to about 8000 people a year and that would help other
businesses in the area too.
The
museum is seeking letters of support, endorsement or Resolutions in support of their
efforts.
If
you would like to help, just send an e-mail to Senator Bill Montford at Montford.Bill.web@flsenate.gov
