This weekend is the 35th Annual Brooksville Raid Reenactment. This reenactment is a re-creation of the 1846 raid of federal troops into the interior as the union forces attempted to destroy a confederate salt works. This was a Civil War battle that happened in Hernando County in July of l864. The Raid is held the 3rd weekend in January every year They have become the largest Civil War reenactment in Florida with over 1500 reenactors and their families. There will be 28 cannons, 60 horses, and over 50 sutlers. The public is invited to tour the authentic confederate and union camps and actually see how they lived and what it was like during the Civil War. We expect around 60 sutlers (Vendors), so you can purchase any Civil War items you might want. We also have kettle corn, old time root beer and you cant leave without having a FRY BREAD. All animals must be on a leash.
