This special exhibit offers a nostalgic look into the daily workings of Carrabelle’s city government and the tools that helped keep the city running.
Step back in time and explore original artifacts from Carrabelle’s historic City Hall office. This fascinating display features historic city log books, a municipal court log from the 1940s—complete with charges like fighting and disorderly conduct, original City of Carrabelle ballot boxes and paper ballots once used in local elections, a classic 1953 Underwood Standard Typewriter used by Assistant City Clerk Mary Mathes, a vintage mechanical adding machine, and a small black ledger belonging to longtime City Clerk Charles Lee Daniels, who faithfully served Carrabelle for 34 years. Visitors can also see vintage receipt books, the original city seal stamp, and an assortment of rubber stamps once used for municipal business—each item offering a tangible link to Carrabelle’s mid-20th century administration. 
These intriguing pieces tell the story of the city’s administrative past and provide a tangible connection to Carrabelle’s civic heritage.
Whether you're a history buff, longtime local, or curious visitor, this special exhibit brings to life the everyday workings of Carrabelle’s past and celebrates the people and processes behind the paperwork.
This exhibit is sponsored by C-Quarters Marina, Duke Energy, Shaun Donahoe Realty, and funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
