Gifts and Collectibles

The Historical Society has offered a series of nine collectable ornaments that celebrate historic places in Bay County. Many in the series are sold out and only a few of some are still available. However, the most recently issued in 2023 to celebrate the survival of the Downtown Clock is still available. Think of these quality ornaments when you select a birthday, graduation or Christmas gift.

Books by Local Authors

Our book selection is anchored with the historical writings of Marlene Womack.  Her first work, Along the Bay, set the standard for local history.

Marlene Womack (1940-2017) was a historian at heart who loved the Panama City area.  She was a prolific writer with 35 years as the “Out of the Past” columnist at the Panama City News Herald. Her writings that included nine books on local history.

​

The Arcadia Press series, Images of America, is available at the HSBC Museum. These volumes use archival photographs to celebrate the history of communities across America, including many of our local communities and cities. Additional Bay County authors' books are also available and cover a variety of historical subject matter.
