Plan now for your Civil War Sesquicentennial Celebration

In commemoration of the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Civil War, the Orange County Regional History Center is traveling Florida in the Civil War. Although often overlooked in history books, Florida played an important role in the Civil War. Not only did the state send the largest percentage of troops to fight, but also contributed necessary commodities to soldiers and their families throughout the South. In Florida in the Civil War, discover how Florida overcame adversity to ship salt and beef to the Confederacy and how the state’s citizens survived the Union blockade of its vast coastline.
