CLL of Fort Walton Beach - Course Catalog & Registration

Course Description: Tour all museums in Okaloosa County. All visits except one involve a morning tour so as not to interfere with an afternoon class you might be taking. One visit will include the Air Force Armament Museum so you know the meeting place for our final three museum tours in the north end of the county (scheduled for the last class of the session). We will meet that morning at 9:45 a.m. at the Armament Museum. The last tour day we visit all three museums in the northern part of the county. We meet at the Air Force Armament Museum and carpool to The Bush House in Crestview, Carver-Hill in Crestview the Baker Block Museum. This final session will be an all-day class with us having lunch at a local restaurant. Museums on the south end of the “trail” include Destin History and Fishing, Air Force Armament Museum, Emerald Coast Science Center, Heritage Park and Cultural Center, and Heritage Museum of Northwest Florida. This is a 7-week class.

Class Leader Bio(s): Dr. Barbara Palmgren is a retired educator and author who currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Heritage Museum of Northwest Florida. She thinks it is important that seniors become aware of all the museums in Okaloosa County.

Notes: $30 class fee to be paid to Dr. Palmgren at the first class to cover the museum fees. Although many museum fees have increased, we are receiving a substantial discount. This 7-week class starts on January 14th at UWF. The remaining 6 classes (January 21, 28, February 4, 11, 18, and 25) will be visits to the museums of Okaloosa County. A list of each week’s starting point will be given at the January 14 class. Students are responsible for driving to the museums each week.
