5. Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 82 reviews
The Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum, located in Carrabelle, Florida, was established to honor and preserve the heritage of the men and women who trained at the camp during WWII. Camp Gordon Johnston opened in 1942 for the sole purpose of training Infantry Divisions and their support units in amphibious operations. This camp trained a quarter of a million men, closing in June of 1946. Three infantry divisions and two special brigades left here after receiving amphibious training to confront tyranny both in Europe and the Pacific. Learn about their dedication, fears and heroism at our museum. The Museum has compiled an extensive history of the various units that trained here, as well as a photographic display of the area and life as it existed at the camp. Furthermore, the CGJ veterans have contributed the artifacts brought back from battles overseas, along with uniforms, equipment, and all sorts of souvenirs, too numerous to name.

A wonderful free museum and great collection of artifacts. Very informative and wonderful staff on hand to answer questions. This is a must see if in the area. Carrabelle was the location of a very large training facility.

Carabelle has long touted what is supposedly the "world's smallest police station." which is an old roadside pay phone booth. Carabelle should be equally proud of their history museum, a "shoe string operation" that through creativity and grit far exceeds the quality of a number of substantially better heeled facilities I have visited. Tamara, the engaging Director, is a volunteer (you couldn't pay anyone to be that dedicated and knowledgeable), who makes the place come alive with her stories and in-depth knowledge of archaeology, history, and the people who made it. We especially enjoyed the large, still unfinished panoramic mural of Carabelle from 1885-1920 that is filled in as old images and historical facts emerge. Located in the old WPA built city hall and retaining the original heart of pine floors the museum aspires to open an exhibit of the shipwreck of the SS Tarpon, a dramatic story of heroism on the high seas. Should be a real tourist draw. This small museum is a true asset to Carabelle and Florida. If the city is not a Florida Certified Local Government, it should be so non match state funds can be obtained as have numerous small historical facilities in Florida.
