SUMMARY:Special Exhibit on Carrabelle in the 1930s
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is excited to announce a special exhibit on “Carrabelle in the 1930s” that will be opening on Sunday\, May 1\, and be on display through Sunday\, May 29. There is no charge for admission but donations are gladly accepted. The museum and exhibit are open Wednesdays 12-5 pm\, Thursdays thru Saturdays 10 am – 5 pm and Sundays 12 – 5 pm. \nAll month long\, the Carrabelle History Museum will be celebrating the anniversary of the original opening of the now historic City Hall Building\, which currently houses the Carrabelle History Museum. Carrabelle’s Historic City Hall first opened to the public on May 2\, 1938. This building was the result of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project and was described at the time of its construction as “one of the finest buildings in the state for a city of this size.” The structure is a two-story brick vernacular style of that period. Carrabelle’s original City Hall was constructed by Marvin N. Justiss\, a local mason of note who is said to have built half of Carrabelle. Mr. Justiss hand-made the concrete blocks in wooden forms. Each one weighs over 60 pounds. \nIn addition\, this exhibit will also explore what Carrabelle and Franklin County were like during that era. Fun\, cultural highlights will be shared as well as serious items of note happening in the world to provide context to 1930s Carrabelle. Visitors are invited to come to the museum to learn about Captain Wing’s ferry between Carrabelle and Apalachicola\, the opening of the first bridge across the Apalachicola Bay connecting Carrabelle to Apalachicola by road\, and the sinking of the Steamship Tarpon. This was the era of steamships\, ferries\, brand new bridges\, big band swing\, and jazz music\, all the while the Nazis were already consolidating power and World War II was brewing. \nThis exhibit will consist of a newly restored original jail cell door\, a display on the construction methods of the City Hall building\, historic photos of Franklin County from the 1930s\, historical newspaper articles\, plus artifacts and music from the 1930s.\n.\nCarrabelle History Museum is located\, one block from Carrabelle Harbor\, at 106 SE Avenue B\, Carrabelle\, FL. Funding in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. For more information\, contact 850-697-2141 or go to www.carrabellehistorymuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Carrabelle History Museum Special Exhibit on "C. C. Land Turpentine Camp
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is excited to announce a new special exhibit on “C. C. Land Turpentine Camp”. This exhibit will be on display from Wednesday\, March 2 through Saturday\, April 30. There is no charge for admission but donations are gladly accepted. The museum and exhibit are open Wednesdays 12-5 pm\, Thursdays thru Saturdays 10 am – 5 pm and Sundays 12 – 5 pm. \nClifford C. Land\, known as C. C. Land\, founded turpentine operations in Tate’s Hell in the 1930s\, starting at High Bluff and moving to Greenpoint\, between Eastpoint and Carrabelle. Turpentine camp workers needed exceptional strength to wield the heavy hand tools and had to master skillful techniques to maximize the amount of sap they could get from a pine tree without destroying it. C.C. kept the company going until wage labor laws made it no longer feasible\, and this was the last operating turpentine camp in Franklin County. In the late 1940s\, the business converted to logging and cattle raising. \nThe exhibit shows the difficult process of gathering sap and distilling it into resin with many photos\, artifacts\, letters\, and documents from the C. C. Land Turpentine Company. An impressive array of tools unique to the turpentine trade and old hand-made wood and tin tool carriers are on display. There are bark hacks\, scrapers\, axes\, odd-shaped galvanized buckets from the late 1930s\, and a collection of different types of pots and trays used to collect the pine sap. The historic photos of the camp workers on the job reflect their skill and strength and illustrate the challenges of this long-ago profession. Aluminum tokens\, known as scrip used for purchases at the camp commissary are also part of the display\, as well as samples of the many medicinal products made from pine derivatives. \nThis amazing collection of authentic artifacts is on loan from Bonnie Allen\, granddaughter of Clifford C. Land and retired Park Services Specialist. She will be at the Carrabelle History Museum on Saturday\, March 19 from 10 am – 3 pm to further interpret her collection and discuss the turpentine industry in Franklin County. Bonnie Allen is from Apalachicola and worked with the Florida Park Service for over 35 years\, at St. George Island State Park\, St. Andrews State Park\, and most recently with Tallahassee-St. Marks Area Parks. \nCome to the museum to learn about the history of this hard way of life in Franklin County. Carrabelle History Museum is located\, one block from Carrabelle Harbor\, at 106 SE Avenue B\, Carrabelle\, FL. Funding in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. For more information\, contact 850-697-2141 or go to www.carrabellehistorymuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Carrabelle History Museum presents a Special Exhibit on Sponge Diving in Carrabelle and North Florida
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is presenting a special exhibit on Sponge Diving in Carrabelle and the North Gulf Coast of Florida. This exhibit will be on display through Thursday\, March 31\, 2022. There is no charge for admission but donations are gladly accepted. The museum and exhibit are open Wednesdays 12-5 pm\, Thursdays thru Saturdays 10 am – 5 pm and Sundays 12 – 5 pm. \nAfter the sponge industry in Greece collapsed in the late 1800s\, Greek divers brought their practices to Florida and created an extremely lucrative industry. Apalachicola\, Tarpon Springs\, and Key West emerged as top sponge trade ports. By 1900\, Apalachicola was home to two sponge warehouses and employed around 100 men. Carrabelle developed a large sponge fleet of its own during that time. \nSmall sailboats embarked on month-long harvesting trips in the northern Gulf. Each vessel carried several small dinghies. A pair of men worked each dingy with one man rowing as the other looked for sponges using a glass viewing box pressed against the surface of the water. \nThe arrival of diving technology in the early 1900s\, the diving suit\, brought more efficiency to harvesting. The diving suit enabled the men to walk along the seafloor to more quickly harvest sponges. By around the 1930s\, a combination of overharvesting\, blight\, and the invention of synthetic sponges led to the depletion of the sponge industry which virtually closed in this area at that time. In recent years sponge harvesting has made a bit of a comeback and locally-sourced sponges can once again be found in Franklin County. \nA turn-of-the-century Greek sponge diving suit complete with a helmet and weight belt is the focal point of the exhibit. The Sponge Diving exhibit also includes an authentic\, brass sponge diving helmet used by a former local diver as well as a diorama of the sponge docks\, early images\, and historical photos of Carrabelle’s sponge boats and local sponge divers plus a fascinating video of sponge diving. \nCarrabelle History Museum is located\, one block from Carrabelle Harbor\, at 106 SE Avenue B\, Carrabelle\, FL. Funding in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. For more information\, contact 850-697-2141 or go to Carrabelle History Museum.

SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Commemorating the Early Days of Carrabelle
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is thrilled to announce that this exhibit is being extended thru January 31!! \nChristmas Eve will mark the 139th anniversary of the official creation of the Town of Carrabelle.

He began immediately to organize the community. Nineteen (19) local residents who were registered Franklin County voters signed an incorporation petition and sent it to the county.

SUMMARY:The Fort at Prospect Bluff
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is presenting an interesting history program entitled\, “The Fort at Prospect Bluff” with historian and author\, Dale Cox. It may be hard to imagine now\, but right down the road in Franklin County on a bank of the Apalachicola River is a bluff that once boasted the biggest community of escaped slaves and free black people in the country. This free program will be held Saturday\, February 15\, 2020\, at 10 am – 12 pm at C-Quarters Marina. \nThe Fort at Prospect Bluff\, built by British troops during the final months of the War of 1812\, served as a rallying point and refugee center for more than 3\,000 Red Stick Creek Indians who evacuated into Florida. The fort was also the training station for a battalion of Colonial Marines (Black/Negro Marines). Escaped slaves from Spanish Florida and the United States filled the ranks of this unit. \nWhen the war ended\, Great Britain withdrew from the Apalachicola River. They turned the massive 14 ½ acre fort over to around 80 of the former Colonial Marines and their families\, creating a community of 300-350 men\, women\, and children. From 1815-1816\, it was the largest free black settlement in North America. \nU.S. forces destroyed the fort on July 27\, 1816. The deadliest single cannon shot in American history blew up the gunpowder magazine with a devastating flash. Recent research at Prospect Bluff\, now called Fort Gadsden\, is gaining national attention. Over the past four years more discoveries have been made on and about this site than in the 60 years prior. \nHistorian and author Dale Cox will tell the story that inspired his book\, “The Fort at Prospect Bluff” and discuss his research that led to the discovery of dozens of previously unpublished accounts. Dale Cox is the author of more than one dozen books on Southern history and culture and has won numerous awards. The new book from Dale Cox offers the most detailed account in print of the 1814-1816 history and destruction of the Fort at Prospect Bluff or “Negro Fort.” Copies of the book will be available.
