More than 10,000 troops took part, including three regiments of U.S. Colored Troops such as the 54th Massachusetts. A mile-long trail with interpretive signs walks families through what happened, and there is a picnic area. Entry is free. The park museum has been closed since July 16, 2026, so the visit is the outdoor trail and grounds. A reenactment is held every February. ## Similar picks in Jacksonville - [Big Talbot Island State Park and Boneyard Beach](https://grassyknees.com/jacksonville/activities/big-talbot-island-state-park-and-boneyard-beach--listing-25eef59a8b92a1792ceda07c) — Daily 8 a.m. to sunset (boat ramp open 24 hours) · Big Talbot Island State Park · All ages · From $3 · checked Oct 24.
