Special Exhibit: Honoring Our Veterans
Thru Sunday, May 30
The Carrabelle History Museum reminds you to come learn the stories of some of our area’s military veterans during a special exhibit on display through Sunday May 30th. This temporary exhibit pays tribute to several local men who served, some of whom also sacrificed, in our country’s armed forces. The exhibit honors five men from Carrabelle representing WW1, WW2, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
