As the nation begins commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) invites residents and visitors to explore the places where history unfolded. In honor of George Washington’s birthday, Florida State Parks will offer free admission from Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, through Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, encouraging visitors to experience the landscapes that shaped the nation’s earliest chapters. Florida’s state parks are more than destinations for outdoor recreation. They are living connections to the people, places and events that helped define America long before it became a nation. From barrier islands and riverbanks to forts and frontier settlements, these sites offer visitors a chance to walk the same ground where history was made. Please note: Free admission applies to day-use only and excludes Skyway Fishing Pier State Park and Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park. All other fees, including overnight accommodations, special events, concessions and rentals from park vendors, will remain in effect.
Visitors can explore Revolutionary War-era connections at parks including:
• Big Talbot Island State Park and
• Fort George Island Cultural State Park
• Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park
• Tomoka State Park
• San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park
• Fernandina Plaza Historic State Park
