SUMMARY:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum features a Special Exhibit on the Philippines Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit on the Philippines campaign. This exhibit will open on Tuesday\, September 2 and be on display until Saturday\, October 4.  The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET. There is no charge for admission\, but donations are gladly accepted. \n  \nVisitors are invited to learn about the Japanese assault on the Philippines including the Bataan Death March\, a brutal forced march of Allied prisoners of war through tropical heat\, humidity\, and rain. Thousands died along the way due to being starved and beaten and being denied medical care. \n  \nThe exhibit also explores the long campaign to liberate the islands\, starting with the U. S. landing at Leyte on October 20\, 1944. In an effort to hold Leyte at all costs\, Japan sent five naval forces to challenge the American fleet\, leading to the largest and most complex naval battle of World War II\, the massive Leyte Gulf Naval Campaign. \n  \nThe 38th Infantry Division\, which trained at Camp Gordon Johnston\, earned the nickname “Avengers of Bataan”. This division played a critical role in this campaign. In December 1944\, they landed at Leyte under enemy fire with the battle still raging. In the spring of 1945\, they fought a tough campaign at Zig Zag Pass in Luzon. After intense combat\, the division had cleared Bataan and accepted the formal surrender of two of the most powerful Japanese army groups in the Philippines. General Douglas MacArthur is said to have personally honored them with the title “Avengers of Bataan” for their victory. \n  \nCamp 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. \n

SUMMARY:Celebrate Twilight at the Tower at Crooked River Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting Twilight at the Tower on Saturday\, September 6 from 7:30-9:30 pm ET in Carrabelle\, FL. This special after-hours event invites visitors to enjoy the gorgeous natural surroundings of St. George Sound and Carrabelle Beach as the golden sun sets below the horizon and the Corn Moon rises.

Guests are welcome to bring a chair and relax on the grounds as the color of the sky goes from watercolor hues to evening blues and the first evening star appears. \n  \nThis month’s moon is known as the Corn Moon. “This time of year—late summer into early fall—corresponds with the time of harvesting corn in much of the United States. For this reason\, a number of Native American peoples traditionally used some variation of the name “Corn Moon” to refer to the Moon of September. Examples include Corn Maker Moon (Western Abenaki) and Corn Harvest Moon (Dakota)” (Credit: The Old Farmer’s Almanac). \n  \nThose who wish to climb to the top of the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast can take part in twilight tower climbs. From the top\, climbers will be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views\, the colors of the sunset\, and the glow of the rising moon. Evening climbs cost $10 and are scheduled at 15-minute intervals throughout the event. Due to limited availability\, climb reservations are strongly encouraged. Climbers must be at least 44 inches tall. Children under 12 climb free with ticketed adults. Advance tickets can be purchased in the lighthouse gift shop or online at https://www.crookedriverlighthouse.com/full-moon-events/ \n  \nCrooked River Lighthouse is located in Carrabelle\, just west of the Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1975 Hwy 98 W\, Carrabelle.
