About a 20-30 drive from Jacksonville, West on I-10, is Olustee.

Site of a pretty large skirmish. For YEARS, they used to have a reenactment annually. I had a Bud about 30 years ago who's Dad took part. From what I saw, it's quite time consuming and a LOT of preparation goes into it. A lot of these guys would grow facial hair just for the occasion. I'm not sure if they even do it anymore. Civil War history stuff has become very taboo lately. In fact....My High School, Robert E Lee Sr High (Home of Lynyrd Skynyrd).... Just two days ago, after 80 years, it was voted to be changed to Riverside High.
