Volunteer Appreciation Dinner for Pink Out!

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum features a Special Exhibit: Operation Paperclip
2025-10-07 11:00 - 2025-11-01 17:00 | Camp Gordon Johnston Museum, 1873 Hwy 98 West, Carrabelle, Fl, 32322
Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit about Operation Paperclip. This exhibit will open on Tuesday, October 7 and be on display through Saturday, November 1. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. There is no charge for admission, but donations are gladly accepted.

Operation Paperclip was the secret US campaign to move German scientists, some of whom had Nazi records of wrongdoing, to the US to help develop the rocket technology for defense and eventually space exploration. Keeping these human assets out of the hands of the Soviet Union as the Cold War ramped up required turning a blind eye to their pasts as operatives in the Nazi Regime. These scientists, led by Werner Von Braun, were key to the success of the US missions into space.

This exhibit is a cooperative venture between the Museum and the Challenger Learning Center in Tallahassee. The Challenger Learning Center is the K-12 Outreach Facility for the Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering. Portions of this exhibit will be presented in November at the Challenger Learning Center located at 200 S. Duval Street in Tallahassee.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information, contact the museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
