The Loxahatchee Battlefield Digital Archive was created to make the history of the Loxahatchee River accessible to everyone. As part of the mission of the Loxahatchee Battlefield Preservationists.. to preserve, protect, and interpret 5,000 years of history along the river... this archive brings together battlefield relics, Native American artifacts, maps, photographs, and historic documents in one searchable, public collection.
Every item in the archive has been carefully digitized to safeguard fragile materials while sharing their stories widely. From Seminole War battle relics to early maps of Palm Beach County, these resources help us understand the people, places, and events that shaped this landscape.
This archive is designed for both researchers and the community. Teachers can draw from curated lesson plans, students can explore original documents and images, and visitors can experience the cultural and natural history of the battlefield from anywhere in the world.
By providing open access to these materials, the Digital Archive extends the battlefield itself into the digital age, ensuring that the stories of the Loxahatchee River are preserved and shared for generations to come.
