The Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle, Florida, is set to host the Freedom Truck, a traveling exhibit designed to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. The mobile museum will be on-site from December 4 through December 6, with daily operating hours scheduled from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET.
This interactive experience is intended for visitors of all ages to explore the history of America’s founding. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities, including testing their historical knowledge and digitally signing the Declaration of Independence. The exhibit also features stories detailing the lives of 50 American heroes.
A Dual Historical Experience
The visit to the Freedom Truck offers a chance for families and history enthusiasts to engage with national history while also accessing the local military exhibits at the Camp Gordon Johnston Museum. The host site, located at 1873 Hwy 98 West, is situated directly across from Carrabelle Beach, a site historically significant for its use during World War II beach assault training.
The event is funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. Admission to the exhibit is free. Those seeking further details regarding the visit may contact the museum at (850) 697-8575 or via email at museum@campgordonjohnston.com.
