SUMMARY:Carrabelle History Museum:  Military Tribute Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum extends a unique display that pays tribute to several local men who served\, some of whom also sacrificed\, in our country’s armed forces.  Developed initially for Carrabelle’s Museum Day\, held on May 1\, the Military Tribute Exhibit has been so meaningful to the Carrabelle History Museum\, to the community\, and especially to these men’s families that the museum has decided\, with permission of the families\, to keep the exhibit in place through the end of the May.  May was designated as National Military Appreciation Month by Congress in 1999\, so it is especially fitting. \nThe exhibit honors five men from Carrabelle who served in the military representing World War I\, World War II\, the Korean War\, and the Vietnam War.

Stokes – Korean\nRobert “Cliff” Millender – Vietnam\n\nThe Carrabelle History Museum extends a heartfelt thank you to the families of these men for sharing their stories with us and entrusting us with the care of some cherished items on display.  Tamara Allen\, Director of the Carrabelle History Museum\, said\, “I’ve heard from several family members and have even had the privilege to show the exhibit privately to some.  The reception this display has gotten from them\, and our community as a whole has been heartfelt and positive.  “A big thank you to Lisa Keith-Lucas and Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum for their assistance in making this happen. \nThe Carrabelle History Museum is located at 106 SE Avenue B\, in historic Carrabelle\, FL.  The museum and the exhibit are open Wednesday from 12:00 – 5:00\, Thursday\, Friday\, and Saturday from 10:00 – 5:00\, and Sunday from 12:00 – 5:00.  There is no charge for admission\, but donations are warmly welcomed.

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. The incorporation of Carrabelle was officially recorded on Christmas Eve in 1881 by Franklin County. \nIn honor of this historic date\, the Carrabelle History Museum announces the opening of a new exhibit documenting this important event. This special exhibit will open Wednesday\, December 9 at 12 pm and will be on display at the museum until January 31\, 2020 at 5 pm. The exhibit and museum are open every Wednesday and Sunday from 12-5 pm and every Thursday\, Friday and Saturday from 10 am-5 pm (except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day). There is no charge for admission but donations are gladly accepted to help defray costs. \nThe community of “Rio Carrabella” was formed in 1877 when Oliver Hudson Kelley set up a tent on the east side of the river in Carrabelle\, moved in his wife and 5 daughters then declared himself the mayor. 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. This petition established the legal city boundaries and government structure. Carrabelle was incorporated the day before Christmas 1881 so on that date\, Carrabelle officially became a town with its present name. This special exhibit will focus on introducing the Articles of Incorporation and five of the original Founding Fathers\, including Oliver Hudson Kelley. \nCarrabelle History Museum is located at 106 SE Avenue B\, in historic downtown Carrabelle\, FL.

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.
