The largest Civil War Re-Enactment of a "battle that never was" will take place in the streets of downtown Jefferson and Tuscumbia Ranch, just east of the historic riverport town. More than 500 troops will fight in the two-day battle that begins with skirmishes in the city's historic downtown area and continues across the Big Cypress River where cavalry and artillery join the fray at Tuscumbia Ranch.

Along with the combatants, hundreds of period-attired "civilians" will be in town re-enacting this period of 19th-century history, assisting with living history encampments that include suttlers, families and authentic period attire, tools and weapons.
