Print ArticleIf you're the type of person who believes in ghost, ghouls, and goblins, here are few sites in town you might want to avoid this weekend.
Camp Milton
Camp Milton has been recognized as the “last remaining unrecognized and unprotected Civil War battle site in the state of Florida.”
Camp Milton, named after Florida's Governor John Milton, was among the most significant fortifications built in Florida by Confederate authorities during the Civil War. Located west of McGirts Creek, Camp Milton became the eastern Florida military headquarters for the Confederate States of America (CSA), housing 6,000 infantry, 1,500 calvary, and 430 field pieces.
While it was no Gettysburg or Antietam, it was the site of a three-day skirmish between the Confederates and 400 Union troops. The Union forces quickly captured the line. A site where many souls were lost is probably a place where you shouldn't hang out alone at night.
