Dade Battlefield Historic State Park

Established in 1921 to preserve and commemorate the site of Dade's Battle of 1835, a momentous event that spawned the longest and most costly American Indian war in U.S. history, this National Historic Landmark has become a hub of the community.

Picnics, hiking and wildlife photography are a big attraction. History comes alive through regular interpretive offerings. Be sure to stop by the visitor center, which contains a small museum with artifacts and exhibits related to the Florida Seminole wars, as well as an award-winning 12-minute video about the battle, "This Land, These Men."
