A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

SMOKE ADVISORY: April 13,2012 -The park has moderate smoke daily depending on wind conditions. Visitors should avoid outdoor situations if they have asthma or breathing related problems. The fire remains well away from us but we are still impacted by the smoke.
Come take a step back in time and mingle with Civil War Reenactors, living historians, period artisans, and sulters at the Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park during the Battle Reenactment every February.
The 37th Annual Reenactment of the Battle of Olustee will take place February 15-17, 2013.
The Battle Reenactment has been named a "Top 20 Event in the Southeast" by the Southeastern Tourism Society! For more information visit http://www.battleofolustee.org

PET POLICY
- Florida State Parks Pet Policy
- Pets are not permitted at the annual reenactments of the Battle of Olustee, held in February each year. Large crowds, heavy pedestrian traffic and repeated loud noise created by cannons and muskets firing black powder charges make it an inhospitable environment for pets. Pets are permitted at the park any other time of the year.
