Camp Gordon Johnston Museum

The Camp Gordon Johnson Museum is dedicated to the memories of the "Amphibious Soldiers" who were trained at Camp Gordon Johnson starting in 1942. The museum is owned and operated by the non-profit Camp Gordon Johnston Association, which also takes part in parades and educational historic events held in Franklin County.

As North Florida's premier World War II museum, this facility covers over 5,000 square feet containing artifacts, vehicles, photos, and memorabilia. Preserved here are oral histories of soldiers, sailors and other military and civilian personnel associated with the camp during the war. In total, this camp trained roughly a quarter of a million men prior to its closing in June 1946.

Visitors are welcome to take self-guided tours of the photographic displays, uniforms, mess kits, and souvenirs that make up the primary exhibitions. As part of the museum's outreach program, an official newspaper is published, too, called the Amphibian.

The Camp Gordon Johnson Museum moved recently just a few blocks away from its old location at 302 Marine Street. It is now located within the Carrabelle City Complex at 1001 Gray Avenue, Carrabelle, Florida 32322. Operating hours are from 1pm to 4pm on Monday through Thursday, from noon till 4pm on Fridays, and from 10am until 2pm on Saturdays. There is no charge for admission.
