Inscription.
The Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park is truly hallowed ground on which the great patriots and warriors who so valiantly fought in this battle are honored and memorialized with the dignity they so richly deserve.

The Okeechobee Battlefield was designated by the National Trust for historic preservation as one of America’s most endangered lands in 2000. in the spring of 2006, the Governor and Cabinet voted to acquire this 145 acre site and established the Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park. The park was opened in 2015.

We are truly grateful to all who have been dedicated to preserving this national, Seminole and Florida historic treasure, and give honor to those to whom honor is due.

Forever grateful and God bless.

Erected 2017 by The Okeechobee Battlefield Friends, Inc.
