These are very popular events for schools to attend. The battle of Townsend’s Plantation is very much a family event for the participants and spectators. Some accoutrements of the Civil War camp. Picnic basket in a iron wheeled wagon Sewing time. If you make the trip to a Florida re-enactment or any re-enactment, be sure to check out the camps, in addition to watching the battle, as you can learn so much about the history of the Civil War (or other event re-enacted) from the people who put so much effort, time and money into participating in these events.

The Confederates never came that far over on the field. Union Troopsĭue to the location we were sitting along the very crowded spectator line, this year we mostly saw the Union troops in action.

Since this is not a re-enactment based on an actual battle, the generals devise a series of skirmishes that move the troops back & forth across the field. This year the Union soldiers came from the right side of the Townsend’s Plantation field and the Confederate from the left. The battlefield is on a small ridge so the action is easy to see and photograph even when sitting on the ground. This is one of the smaller re-enactments in Florida but the venue makes it a fun one to shoot. In Mount Dora, Florida, the 2017 Battle of Townsend’s Plantation, Civil War re-enactment, was once again an interesting and photographic event.
