SUMMARY:Take a Virtual Ghost Walk of Apalachicola’s Historic Chestnut St. Cemetery with Dolores Roux
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola Area Historical Society (AAHS) invites the public to an armchair Ghost Tour of the Chestnut Street Cemetery of Apalachicola\, as part of their Spring Speaker Series. The Society has annually performed history-themed walks through the cemetery guided by local reenactors sharing the stories of some of the city’s founding mothers and fathers. However\, this Spring’s tour will be held indoors on Saturday\, February 21\, beginning at 4:00 PM at the Carriage House of the Raney House Museum located at 126 Market St. in Apalachicola. \nThe program will be hosted by past Society president and former City Librarian Caty Greene and will draw from video tours recorded by the late Dolores Roux. Dolores was a native daughter of Apalachicola and was instrumental in starting the annual cemetery tour where locals offer an historical reenactment of the tales of the men and women buried in the city’s oldest cemetery. \nDrawing from her personal memories of 20th Century Apalachicola and the stories of many of the city’s earlier townsfolk\, hearing again Dolores’ recollections of those interred in the Chestnut St Cemetery will provide an enlightening and often humorous peek into Apalachicola’s history and some of the characters that shaped it. \nThis will be a unique opportunity to take a tour from a comfortable chair and with a guide who knew Apalachicola intimately. No tickets will be required for this event\, though attendees are encouraged to arrive early as seating is limited. Admission is free\, though donations are welcomed and will support the Historical Society’s programs. \nThese Speakers events are part of a well-established and popular series by the Apalachicola Area Historical Society with monthly speakers January through May and funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. Previous programs have covered Apalachicola’s predominantly African American North Side\, Territorial City St Joseph\, Early Maps of the area\, Niles Register Florida History\, the ice delivery industry\, Cemetery Preservation\, Apalachicola Historic Squares and more.

SUMMARY:Speaker Program on the “French\, Spanish  and British Years: From Discovery to an Exceptionally American Florida”
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is proud to present a fascinating speaker program\, “French\, Spanish and British Years: From Discovery to an Exceptionally American Florida”\, featuring Clinton Flowers\, Interpretive Aide at the Missouri State Museum. This free program will be held Saturday\, February 7\, 2026\, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET at C-Quarters Marina\, 501 St James Ave (Hwy 98)\, Carrabelle\, FL. \nFlowers will  discuss the critical events and interactions among France\, Spain\, and Britain that contributed to the development of the modern State of Florida. The narrative encompasses episodes of conflict\, deception\, and strategic alliances\, while recognizing the enduring legacies of Florida—now celebrated as the “free state of sunshine!” \nThe Louisiana Purchase of 1803\, though not directly including Florida\, transformed the young nation and indirectly reshaped Florida’s role. Occurring during a period characterized by exploration\, conquest\, and expansion\, it marked a major enhancement of American power\, providing new territory\, resources\, wealth\, and international influence. Once ruled by Spain\, then Britain\, then the U.S.\, Florida’s path to statehood reveals a layered history. While many believe Spain made the first permanent settlement at St. Augustine in 1565\, the French actually established one earlier in 1562—decades before Jamestown. Divided into East and West Florida\, the region remained outside the Continental Congress\, yet was deeply entwined with America’s expansion story. \nClinton Flowers works as an Interpretive Aide at the Missouri State Museum\, a history and cultural division of Missouri State Parks\, in the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. He has retired from a career as Program Manager in the Missouri Department of Economic Development. Flowers has a Bachelor’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration. As a certified Interpretive Aide\, he provides guided tours and has developed history programs about our nation’s westward expansion\, Lewis and Clark\, the steamboat industry\, and the Louisiana Purchase. In addition\, he has been a long-time visitor to Florida’s Forgotten Coast. Flowers brings both expertise and personal passion to this talk.
