Battle of Marianna Tours in September

The Blue Springs Chapter of the Children of the American Revolution will be hosting guided tours of the battlefield in Marianna, Florida on Saturday, September 27, 1864.

The tours will take place at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and will begin from the park area in front of the historic Russ house (now the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce) at the intersection of Lafayette and Russ Streets in Marianna. The cost to participate is $5, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the kids in their effort to expand interest in Florida history among school students.

Each of the walking tours will last about 90 minutes and will take guests across some of the areas of heaviest fighting. It will be a great opportunity to learn more about this fascinating episode in Florida history. You can learn more about the battle at www.battleofmarianna.net and if you would like to reserve a spot on one of the tours, just click the contact button there and let me know.

I hope to see some of you there!

Best,
Dale Cox
