The Second Seminole War was the setting for the Dade Massacre.

Only three U.S. soldiers survived\, while only three Seminole warriors were killed. The 80-acre park protects not only a historic battlefield\, but also the natural communities as they existed during the war. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Dade Battle Reenactment of the 2nd Seminole War on the first weekend of January at the Dade Battlefield Historic State Park in Bushnell\, Florida. \n \nTags: Dade Battle Reenactment\, Dade Massacre Reenactment\, Dade Massacre Battle Reenactment\, Seminole War Reenactment \nView other Seminole Indian War Reenactment & Related Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/annual-dade-battle-reenactment/ LOCATION:Dade Battlefield Historic State Park\, 7200 Battlefield Parkway\, Bushnell\, FL\, 33513\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,Battle Reenactments & Encampments,Florida Seminole Wars,Living History Events,Same week in month,US Historic Reenactor Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Dade-Battle-Reenactment-01-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200115 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200127 DTSTAMP:20260408T175325 CREATED:20160820T211840Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200212T182844Z UID:5463-1579046400-1580083199@www.crazycrow.com SUMMARY:Alafia River Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:2020 Alafia River Rendezvous\n\nRate This Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe Florida Frontiersmen host the 49th Annual Alafia River Rendezvous on January 15-26\, 2020 at their club property in Bartow\, Florida.  Early setup is January 15-17; Camp goes primitive at 5:00 p.m. the last day of early setup.

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events URL:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/event/fort-taylor-living-history-weekend-2017-08-19-2020-01-18/ LOCATION:Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\, 601 Howard England Way\, Key West\, FL\, 33040\, United States CATEGORIES:0-Regular Recurranace,American Civil War Reenactment,Historic American Forts,Living History Events,Same week in month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Fort-Taylor-Living-History-Weekend-03-850x567.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
