The Raney House Museum

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!
