The Carrabelle History Museum is presenting a history program entitled, “The Legend of Tate’s Hell”. This program will explore the many facets of the legend of Tate’s Hell, the fate of Cebe Tate and how Tate’s Hell State Forest got its name. The FSU Department of Communications’ 1983 short film, “A Tale of Tate’s Hell” will be shown. This program will be held Saturday, March 18, 2023, at 10 am – 12 pm in the upstairs room at C-Quarters Marina, 501 St. James Ave (Hwy 98), Carrabelle, FL. There is no charge for this event.
The opening line of the film says, “In the folk region, people are wedded to the land, and the land holds memories. The people themselves possess identity and ancestry, through continuous occupation of the same soil. Local events can flower into legend and ballad and proverb, and village ways can harden into custom.” Richard M. Corson in American Folklore
