Battle of Olustee Confederate Monument
Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park was built to preserve the site of
the state’s largest Civil War battle. A small interpretive center, a
one-mile interpretive trail, and monuments to the Union and Confederate
armies are open to the public free of charge. The interpretive center
contains historical information and artifacts related to the Battle of
Olustee.
A reenactment featuring
full-scale artillery, military drills, and living history demonstrations
by more than 2,300 reenactors is held every February to commemorate the
battle. A smaller exposition of Civil War artifacts and living history
demonstrations is held in September.
Olustee Battlefield is
Florida’s first state park. It is also listed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
