- Nole GTallahassee, FL16 contributionsBeautiful historical house. Our ranger (Rountree) was informative and entertaining, we loved him! The gardens were pretty as well.Written January 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kristen M10 contributionsJanyce was an amazing docent and my daughter and I really enjoyed the tour! I would estimate 30-45 minutes total. You'll need to climb stairs in the house. Lots of history about the time period as well as Florida history. Highly recommend. $3 a person and books available for purchase.Written August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- travenopDexter, MI102 contributionsWe Kayaked across from the boat launch at the end of Indian Pass Rd. (we stayed in the RV park there for 3 nights...perfect access spot) it was pretty windy but its a very short easy paddle across despite the tidal inlet.
There is a short clearly maked hike as well as a bunch of sand roads...my wife LOVED walking the beach and collecting shells. There are tons of them since its not very easy to access.
We hope to return and kayak the back side of the island. Very beautiful and unspoiled!Written January 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I am saddened to see the poor reviews of the Mobile and Tallahassee locations..Clearly this is not an example of bigger , being better..I have been to Mobile location and was hugely disappointed.The beer was okay, but the charm and intimacy of the original location does not translate well…I love Apalachicola and love the brewery there.. I hope the recent changes that have been made to sell more tee shirts and hats does not destroy the charm that has gained such a loyal following all of these years.
My advice, skip the new locations and just go to Apalachicola and see what AMERICA use to be.Written July 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This nonprofit local historical society manages the cemetery on behalf of its owners, the City of Apalachicola. AAHS has done a lot to clean up the cemetery and have professionals look into restoring parts of it, plus learning more about its history and the lives of those buried there, including burials in unmarked graves.
There's a newer ghost tour venture by the name of Apalachicola Ghost Tours. It's my understanding that this is a for-profit business, and it's not the same as the ghost tours offered twice a year by our Historical Society. I can't speak to the quality of the tours offered by this business because I haven't been on one. But I've been a volunteer for the AAHS ghost walks ever since their inception, mostly guiding groups of participants around the cemetery. I hope this information is useful.Written September 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a one room museum and half of it is dedicated to Florida National Parks. The other half is about John B Gorrie. It's $2 per person. Spent about 15-20 minutes in there.Written August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mixa's TravelsOldsmar, FL4,139 contributionsThe Veteran’s Memorial of three servicemen is located with the Chapman Botanical Gardens and Orman House. It is a beautiful tribute to Veteran’s.Written May 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Edna C12 contributionsMy husband & I fell in love with Apalachicola when we first visited several years ago. We now make it a destination for us at least twice a year & we always walk the Scipio Creek Boardwalk on each visit. The boardwalk is located in the Mill Pond area of Apalachicola. Well kept Boardwalk meandering thru lovely wooded areas leading to an elevated platform overlooking the beautiful Creek & Apalachicola River. The built in benches invite you to pause & enjoy the gorgeous view. A don't miss spot for us in Apalachicola that lots of visitors aren't aware of.Written June 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Byron CNorth Little Rock, AR125 contributionsDropped by to get advice about paddling in Apalachicola. Lady at desk stopped what she was doing, got out the maps and told me all about local creeks. Corrected my ignorance and was real nice about it.
She was very knowledgable and helpful.
She made some other recomendations about the area.
Told me about the river.
Extremely helpful.
Seemed genuinuely motivated to be sure I had a good trip.

- William GThomasville, GA199 contributionsThis church located close to downtown was brought to the area in two pieces by barge and erected. We went to a brass band concert, part of their series of concerts they present yearly. We saw it listed in the Apalachicola Times and decided to go while we were visiting for the area for Christmas. Inside is original and the simplicity adds to its spirituality. The concert was great as was the reception afterwards. You can sit outside if you are just visiting and read the plaque telling of its historical significance.Written December 29, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
