SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Battle of Iwo Jima
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit about the Battle of Iwo Jima. This exhibit will open Friday\, March 6 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, March 28\, 2026. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET and there is no charge for admission.\nThe Battle of Iwo Jima was one of the most important and hardest-fought amphibious battles of World War II. From February 19 to March 26\, 1945\, American forces attacked the small\, heavily defended island to secure its airfields and use them to support bombing missions against Japan. Marines from the 3rd\, 4th\, and 5th Marine Divisions landed on narrow beaches under heavy artillery\, mortar\, and small arms fire and quickly faced fierce resistance. Japanese troops were dug into bunkers\, caves\, and tunnels\, making every step forward dangerous. The battle was one of the bloodiest in the Pacific\, with nearly 7\,000 Americans killed and many more wounded. After weeks of hard combat\, the island was secured and the famous flag raising on Mount Suribachi became a powerful symbol of courage and sacrifice.\nAlthough Marines led the assault\, many Army and Navy units played key support roles. The U.S. Army’s 147th Infantry Regiment helped clear the island\, and Navy Seabees repaired airfields so planes could quickly use them. Among them were several Amphibious Truck Companies—the 471st\, 473rd\, and 476th— that trained at Camp Gordon Johnston. Landing under fire\, they moved supplies\, carried ammunition\, rescued stranded equipment\, and evacuated wounded soldiers from the beaches using DUKW amphibious vehicles. These units served alongside the 4th Marine Division and took part in heavy fighting. Throughout the month\, the Camp Gordon Johnston Museum will have a special exhibit commemorating the anniversary of the Iwo Jima Battle. Displays will include photos\, video\, and artifacts including some from the Marine Corps.

SUMMARY:Apalachicola Area Historical Society Presents Piracy! The Last Scourge of the Gulf
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola Area Historical Society (AAHS) will be presenting a free program entitled “Piracy! The Last Scourge of the Gulf” by Michael Thomin\, Director of Education and Interpretation at the University of West Florida and Senior Research Associate with the Florida Public Archaeology Network. as part of their Spring Speaker Series on Saturday\, March 14\, 2026 at 3:00 pm at the Carriage House of the Raney House Museum located at 126 Market St. in Apalachicola\, FL. (Please note the new time for this program.) \nThis presentation will explore the massive wave of piracy struck the Gulf of Mexico and terrorized shipping along the Gulf coast two centuries ago. Florida was especially dangerous for travelers. Jean Lafitte and Charles Gibbs\, two of the most notorious pirates from this period\, had close ties to the Florida panhandle. One case of piracy even wound up in the court of West Florida in Pensacola and made newspaper headlines across the nation. This talk examines some of the broader aspects of piracy during the early 1800s in the Gulf and Caribbean. It also focuses on the current archaeological evidence for possible pirate ships from this period that wrecked beneath the waters of the Gulf. Guests are invited to wear their eye patches and get their buccaneer on for this fascinating look at Gulf Coast piracy!\nMike Thomin is the Director of Education and Interpretation at the Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Coordinating Center and a Faculty Senior Research Associate at the University of West Florida. With an M.A. in history/public history\, Mike has dedicated nearly two decades to his career as a museum professional\, specializing in public archaeology\, heritage education\, historic preservation\, and nonprofit management. He has worked with local communities\, state\, federal\, and international partners on heritage projects through grants and collaborations\, both in the United States and abroad. He is also a Florida Master Naturalist. Additionally\, he co-authored a chapter in the book Deadman’s Chest: Even More Archaeology of Piracy (University of Florida Press\, 2023).\nThese Speakers events are part of a well-established and popular series by the Apalachicola Area Historical Society with speakers January through May on Saturdays\, mid-month.
