Olustee Battlefield

In 1864, the Confederates defeated the Blue Coats at Olustee and drove them back to Jacksonville.  Tallahassee would become the only southern capital not captured during the war. This battle is revisited yearly with a Gray-Blue Reinactment. The participants did an excellent job with no permanent causalities compared to the day 2,500 of 10,000 soldiers died.
