This coming Saturday, November 13, the Dade Battlefield State Historic Park celebrates its 100-year anniversary since Florida acquired the land for the public. In addition, the date is also Florida Heritage Day. Living historians and reenactors, along with craftsmen and vendors, will be on hand to show off their wares and demonstrate how they lived and operated in the 1830s, as well as throughout Florida history going back to the first contact in the 1560s.

He is president of the Dade Battlefield Society and a long-time living historian and reenactor.
