Camp Gordon Johnston Museum

Camp Gordon Johnston Museum is a military museum in Carrabelle that focuses on the training center that prepared soldiers for amphibious operations during the war. The building displays photographs, equipment, and artifacts that show how soldiers trained and what daily life was like at this facility.

The training center opened in 1942 and operated through 1946 as a major preparation site for amphibious invasion missions in World War II. Thousands of soldiers passed through for instruction before deploying to combat zones.

Local veterans and their families contribute personal stories and objects from their service, creating a living connection between the community and this period of history. The museum serves as a gathering place where people share memories tied to the training that happened here.

The museum has free admission and offers guided tours that walk visitors through the training methods and daily operations. Taking a tour helps you understand the details better than walking through on your own.

The museum displays working replicas of landing craft that demonstrate the exact techniques soldiers learned for beach operations. These models give visitors a hands-on sense of the equipment soldiers had to use in actual operations.
