Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park
Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park, Civil War battlefield in Baker County, Florida.
The 688-acre Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park features pine forests, interpretive trails, and monuments marking the site of Florida's largest Civil War conflict.
The Battle of Olustee occurred on February 20, 1864, involving 10,000 troops in a five-hour conflict that resulted in 2,807 casualties and Union forces retreating to Jacksonville.
Three United States Colored Troops, including the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, participated in the battle, marking a significant moment for African American military involvement.
