If you have never been to a Civil War event before, or if you have been to one of the smaller Civil War events elsewhere , then you are in for a treat. The Battle of Olustee is the largest, annual Civil War event in the Southeast United States.
Some reenactors even journey from Europe for the event.
The camps are everywhere . Many are strictly military, others are civilian and still others are combined. We encourage you to visit the authentic camps , wander among the campfires, listen to the soldiers and civilians and ask questions. In fact, the hardest part will be to get us to stop talking about it. Although there are far larger events held annually in the United States, Olustee favorably compares with the best in its sutler attendance.
