Located in Bushnell, the Dade Battlefield State Park, super awesome. The park is small, and the museum building is right on the grounds of the battle. Reading the description of the battle and the roster of names, both sides - quite a few places throughout Florida carry these ancestors names. The Seminole Indian Wars were the most involved and costly for the US and the history of this long running conflict has been largely overshadowed by the western expansion story. The park offers a quick immersion in the battle and events of that day... and it's proximity to Orlando and Tampa makes it an excellent short day trip candidate.

History Abounds! Dade Battlefield - Bushnell
