The Raney House Museum

The Historic Raney House in downtown Apalachicola is a glimpse back into the City’s cotton trade era of the early 1800s. Three decades prior to the Civil War were prosperous ones for Apalachicola and revenues from the cotton trade built several fine mansions, including the Greek-Revival Raney House, completed in 1838 by David Greenway Raney. Raney made his fortune in the cotton trade, and served two terms as mayor. This Members of the Raney family lived in the house until 1914. The City of Apalachicola purchased it in 1973 and established the Raney House Museum which exhibits furniture, documents and artifacts.

The Raney House Museum is located at 128 Market Street at the corner of Avenue F in historic downtown Apalachicola. The Museum is managed by the Apalachicola Area Historical Society under contract for the City of Apalachicola.  Admission to the Museum is free but tax-free donations are encouraged and appreciated.  All proceeds are used only for the benefit of the museum.

Open: Tuesday – Saturday, 10 am – 4 pm
