These are two of several Amphibious Truck Companies that trained at Camp Gordon Johnston during World War II. This exhibit will open Tuesday\, February 1\, 2022\, and be on display until Saturday\, February 26. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm and there is no charge for admission. \nThe 476th Amphibious Truck Company trained at Camp Gordon Johnston and was deployed with the Marine Corps for the campaign on Iwo Jima. The 818th Amphibious Truck Company also trained at Camp Gordon Johnston and was deployed to Normandy. The members of the 818th also then spent part of the fall of 1944 driving for the Red Ball Express. \nRosters of WWII companies are very difficult to assemble\, and for Black units\, this is particularly challenging. Thanks to the family of the commanding officer of the 818th and the assistance of the National Archives\, partial rosters of both companies have been assembled. The volunteers and staff of the Camp Gordon Johnston Museum will present what they know of these men who served their country with honor in a military that was still segregated. The hope is that the descendants of these soldiers may help the museum to learn more about them and their service. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, contact the museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

This exhibit will open Tuesday\, November 2\, and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, November 27. November is National Native American Heritage Month\, and the Camp Gordon Johnston Museum salutes their service and sacrifice. The museum and exhibit are open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm and there is no charge for admission. \n“During World War I and World War II\, hundreds of American Indians joined the United States armed forces and used words from their traditional tribal languages as weapons. The United States military asked them to develop secret battle communications based on their languages—and America’s enemies never deciphered the coded messages they sent. “Code Talkers\,” as they came to be known after World War II\, are twentieth-century American Indian warriors and heroes who significantly aided the victories of the United States and its allies. \nThe Code Talkers’ role in war required intelligence and bravery. They developed and memorized a special code. They endured some of the most dangerous battles and remained calm under fire. They served proudly\, with honor and distinction. Their actions proved critical in several important campaigns\, and they are credited with saving thousands of American and allies’ lives.”\n(Source: The National Museum of the American Indian). \nCome to the Camp Gordon Johnston Museum during this special exhibit and learn about the Native Americans who fought for the United States in World War II. Discover the story of the Code Talkers\, who used their unbreakable code based on their native tongues to help defeat the enemy. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West.

On August 6\, 1945\, the first atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima. A second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9. Much has been debated about the decision to develop and use atomic weapons\, but historians generally agree that Germany\, Japan\, and the Soviet Union were well on their way to developing their own\, and both the Allies and the Japanese predicted that the invasion of the Japanese Homeland (codenamed “Downfall”) would have cost millions of lives on both sides. \nThis exhibit will explore what made these bombs so destructive\, and how they were kept secret.  Come and learn about the people\, the places\, the science\, and the aftermath of this significant event that ended WWII. Visitors can use a Geiger counter to measure the radioactivity of samples of uraninite and trinitite and see vintage films of the aftermath of the bombs in Japan. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West.

These public speaking events will feature Linda Davey\, Holocaust Historian\, and will coincide with the special exhibit on the Holocaust running July 1-August 14. \nThe Holocaust was the Nazi program to eliminate the Jews of Europe during their reign over Germany from 1933 until their defeat by the Allies in 1945. The Nazi party’s “Final Solution” led to the deaths of 12 million people between 1933 and 1945\, including political opponents\, Roma\, homosexuals\, communists\, and six million Jews\, including one million Jewish children. \nHolocaust Education Resource Council (HERC) is a non-profit 501-c3 in Tallahassee that provides instructional guidance\, support\, and resources for educators who teach the history of the Holocaust and their students\, and educational programs for the community at large about Holocaust education and teaching tolerance. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. Carrabelle Beach was the site of many practice beach assault landings. The amphibious training conducted at this site was planned to be the last step before shipping out to England.

The exhibit will include historical photos and Marine Corps artifacts\, some of which were recently acquired. The battle started with the Kerama Islands’ capture by the 77th infantry Division on March 26\, 1945\, and ended 98 days later\, on July 2. This effort involved three marine divisions and four infantry divisions making up the Tenth Army\, which had its tactical air force\, and was supported by naval and amphibious commands. The battle cost more lives on both sides than any other campaign in the Pacific. The taking of Okinawa provided a base from which Operation Downfall\, the Japanese mainland invasion\, was to be launched. Operation Downfall\, of course\, was made unnecessary by the surrender of Japan in September of 1945. \nThere is no charge for admission\, but donations are gladly accepted. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West.

This piece of hard working history will be on display at the museum on Saturday\, February 29\, from 11 am – 4 pm. The museum will also be screening a movie on the Red Ball Express at 1 pm. \nAfter D-Day\, the Allied military forces made a critical push from Normandy across France. Supply lines were soon stretched to their breaking point. Without ammunition\, fuel and food\, the US Army would have soon been at a standstill. A huge trucking effort called the “Red Ball Express” was created and played a key role in the defeat of the Nazis. Nearly 75 percent of all Red Ball Express drivers were African American. \nThis unique event will close out Camp Gordon Johnston Museum’s month-long exhibit honoring the service of African American soldiers during WWII. There is no charge for this event and admission to the museum is free.

This exhibit will be on display at the museum until January 31\, 2020.  There is no charge for admission but donations are gladly accepted. \nIn the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor\, the US government ordered the internment of more than 120\,000 Japanese Americans. From 1942-1945\, ten American Relocation Camps operated in western states\, including the best known camp\, Manzanar\, now a National Historic Site. The Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum has a month-long exhibit about the life in these camps\, including video\, photographs and even a list of suggested fiction and non-fiction books related to this period in the lives of Japanese Americans during the war.
