The Carrabelle history museum, the Camp Gordon Johnston World War 2 Museum and the Crooked River lighthouse are all taking part in the Smithsonian’s Museum Day on Saturday

This Saturday would be a great day to visit Carrabelle's three museums.

The Carrabelle history museum, the Camp Gordon Johnston World War 2 Museum and the Crooked River lighthouse are all taking part in the Smithsonian’s Museum Day on Saturday.

That means free admission all day and extended hours for all three sites.

The museums will be open from 10 am to 5 pm with special activities and exhibits including Camp Gordon Johnston’s WWII military vehicles, an exhibit on native peoples at the Carrabelle History Museum and tower climbs at the Crooked River Lighthouse.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum will also show Authentic Army training films taken throughout Franklin County during WWII.

Visitors to the Carrabelle History Museum can meet Ray Andersen, a local professional artist, who will be at the museum from 10:00 am-12:00 pm working on a beautiful, historical mural of Carrabelle's working waterfront circa 1880-1920.

In addition, the museum has a recently expanded exhibit showcasing local history of Native Peoples including a newly acquired Native American pottery artifact.

Also in keeping with this year’s Smithsonian theme of “Women Making History”, the Carrabelle History Museum will be featuring some notable women of Carrabelle including Tillie Miller, Laura Wiggins, Cheryl Sanders, and many others.
