A great place... even if you don’t own a pet! Wonderful selection of gifts, wares, and apparel for your precious puppies and kitties, including senior ones, as well! Also a great line of greeting cards ... especially sympathy cards for those who have lost their beloved 4-legged family member.
3. The Raney House Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 140 reviews
The Raney House Museum is an example of architecture and the interpretation of life in Pre-Civil War Florida. Apalachicola was one of three ports in the Gulf of Mexico which shipped cotton, grown upriver, along with Mobile and New Orleans when "Cotton was King". The town entertained ships from foreign ports, and was very cosmopolitan. The house offers visitors a glimpse into life in "Territorial Florida" (1821-1845) with many artifacts donated by Raney Family members.

Fascinating, informal, and quite delightful, the Raney House is an Apalacicola treasure. We so enjoyed the docents Katie and Linda, on respective days. Their love for local history and the house itself is unmistakable. I asked a zillion questions and each was met with an informed and enthusiastic response. Most worthwhile!

We enjoyed a brief visit to the cemetery as part of a 5 mile walk around the area. There is a brochure with details. The area is quite old so there are some very old graves here.

We ran across this while walk the area on the way to the Orman house. The status has nice details and is a good tribute to the Vietnam war vets.

Great social distancing practices are being taken for their tap room. You can’t drink beer in the tap room but you can get growlers and crowlers to go. They also provide you with cups so you can enjoy their excellent selection of beer anywhere in the city. Would highly recommend stopping by to grab a excellent beer. Their mango beer was my favorite on the beer list when I stopped by. The brown ale was also a great choice if you like higher gravity beer. Cool stickers too.
