SUMMARY:In Celebration of Debe Beard and Oyster Radio’s “Glance at the Past”
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola Area Historical Society (AAHS) is hosting a program\, In Celebration of Debe Beard and Oyster Radio’s “Glance at the Past”\, about Historian\, Botanist\, Community Leader and Bibliophile\, Debe Beard as part of their Spring Speaker Series. The event is on Tuesday\, May 13\, at 5:00 pm ET at the Raney Carriage House\, 126 Market Street\, Apalachicola\, FL. \nDebe Beard was a well-known figure in the Apalachicola community with many abilities and interests – historian\, botanist\, community leader\, and passionate bibliophile  – whose contributions touched many aspects of Apalachicola’s cultural life. Known for her deep knowledge of history\, Debe captured the spirit of the region and beyond in her long-running radio segment\, Glance at the Past\, which aired on Oyster Radio. These memorable radio broadcasts brought history to life and offered listeners a broad exploration of topics\, with an emphasis on local history and culture. Even after she no longer worked at the station\, her voice and knowledge remained a cherished part of the community’s collective memory. \nIn addition to her work in local history\, Debe had an interest in historic architecture. She was a speaker at the Passion for Preservation Symposium sharing her knowledge about the historical development of the town and its iconic wood-framed vernacular architecture\, commonly referred to as “The Cracker House”. This highlighted two of her favorite topics  – Apalachicola history and old house construction. \nA Master Gardener affiliated with the University of Florida\, Debe also brought her botanical knowledge to the beautiful Chapman Botanical Gardens\, a place she held dear. Her passion for the Gardens continues to bear fruit even now after her passing. Her desire was to promote the Botanical Gardens in Apalachicola and create a larger and more diverse variety of flowers along with outdoor art by local artists. Her family and community are carrying that idea forward\, with donations being made through GoFundMe to help bring her vision to life. Whether through her work as a librarian\, her gardening expertise\, or her preservation efforts\,  Debe Beard’s legacy is one of deep care\, curiosity\, and commitment to her community and its stories. \nThese Speakers events are part of a well-established\, popular series by the Apalachicola Area Historical Society. Local and tourist history enthusiasts have gathered for these informative talks for a number of years. Seating is limited so come early to get a spot.

SUMMARY:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum Presents a  Special Exhibit on the Liberation of Paris
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting an exhibit on the Liberation of Paris during World War II. This exhibit will open on Tuesday\, May 6 and be on display at the museum until Saturday\, May 31.  The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. The museum will also be open special hours on Sunday\, May 25 and Monday\, May 26\, 12 pm to 4 pm to honor Memorial Day. Admission is free\, though donations are gladly accepted. \nThe exhibit will present the military and civilian efforts that led to the liberation of Paris on August 25\, 1944\, after four years of German occupation. The liberation was a turning point in World War II\, involving the strategic efforts of the Allied Forces\, Free French forces\, and the French Resistance. As Allied troops advanced through France following the D-Day invasion\, the citizens of Paris\, led by resistance fighters\, initiated an uprising against the occupying German forces. The Allies initially did not consider Paris to be a priority at first\, but the push by the French\, who felt the need for this symbolic city to be cleared of Germans\, changed their mind. \nSupreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the intervention of the Free French 2nd Armored Division\, led by General Philippe Leclerc\, alongside the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. After intense fighting and the strategic surrender of German forces under General Dietrich von Choltitz\, Paris was officially freed on August 25\, 1944. \nThe exhibit features compelling historical photographs and firsthand accounts from soldiers in the U.S. 4th Infantry Division – one of the first American units to enter Paris. Known as the “Ivy Division\,” the 4th played a crucial role in the D-Day landings at Utah Beach and the subsequent campaign across Nazi-occupied France. Their dramatic entry into Paris along with the French 2nd Armored Division marked a defining moment in the war. The 4th Infantry were trained in amphibious assault at Camp Gordon Johnston. This preparation proved vital throughout their combat operations. \nVisitors to the exhibit will gain insight into the soldiers’ experiences and the broader significance of their actions\, from their training at Camp Gordon Johnston to their role in liberating one of Europe’s most iconic cities.

SUMMARY:31st Annual Historic Apalachicola Home & Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:Historic Apalachicola Home and Garden Tour returns May 3. The home of famed botanist Dr. Alvan W. Chapman highlights the Historic Apalachicola Home and Garden Tour on Saturday\, May 3. Now in its 31st year\, the annual event hosted by Trinity Episcopal Church showcases some of the town’s most distinguished homes\, both old and new\, as well as the City Square Community Garden. \n“This year we are pleased to have a working pottery studio on the tour\,” said Sabrina Fornes\, a seventh generation Apalachicolan whose great-great grandfather was the lighthouse keeper at Cape St. George. Once part of a vibrant business district in The Hill community\, extensive renovations are bringing this space\, along with two adjacent buildings\, back to life. \n“The tour offers a visual reflection of our community’s heritage creating a distinct sense of place unlike any other\,” added Fornes. \nA jumble sale offering affordable treasures opens at 9 am on the grounds of Trinity Church followed by an open-to-the-public silent auction at 10 am. A choral Evensong service at Trinity at 6 pm on Friday followed by a reception in Gorrie Square kicks off the tour weekend. \nVisit apalachicolahometour.org for information and to purchase tickets. Advance tickets are $30; day-of-tour tickets may be purchased for $35 on the church grounds beginning at 9 a.m. \nProceeds benefit the preservation and maintenance of Trinity’s historic structures with a portion directed to help meet the needs of those living in Franklin County. \nApalachicola’s historic district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Dating from before the Civil War\, with continued importance well into the twentieth century\, Apalachicola is considered the best-preserved city on the Gulf of Mexico. Guests can enhance their weekend experience by exploring the town’s historical sites\, shops\, galleries\, restaurants\, and waterfront.
