Our Programs

Jupiter Outdoor Center at Riverbend Park and the Loxahatchee Battlefield Preservationists will be offering a historic Battle & Paddle Tour.

This exciting experience will begin with a ½-mile historical walking tour. Be prepared to take in the majestic beauty of nature while learning about the significant battles that occurred at Riverbend Park. 

Following the battlefield tour, you will be invited to take an unforgettable paddle along the Wild & Scenic Loxahatchee River. 

You will float by the Old World beauty of the Loxahatchee River past wildlife and under the shade of cypress trees and sable palms,  the state tree of Florida.  As you paddle along, every bend will reveal something new.

The walking tour lasts about 1 hour. The paddling tour will last about 1½ hours. The entire tour takes about 2 ½ hours.

The Loxahatchee Battlefield Preservationists are honored to present next year's Convocation of Seminole War Historians on April 16-18, 2021 here in Jupiter. 

This will be the third bi-annual Convocation in Florida. We will be showcasing all of the hidden historical gems Jupiter has to offer while providing an unforgettable weekend of education, community and immersive history.

 On Friday we will offer an exclusive Tour of the Pioneer DuBois House built on top of an ancient Native American midden. This private tour will be led by our own local author, member and friend Donna Adair. Friday evening you will have a Tour of the Jupiter Lighthouse by local historian and author Josh Liller. We will begin our Convocation with a welcome reception on the beautiful sacred grounds later that evening. 

Saturday will be filled with historical presentations, eccentric art and unforgettable guests at the Jupiter Community Center. 

Sunday we will take you on a journey back in time to a sacred place at our Loxahatchee River Battlefield Park.  Wrapping up a memorable weekend with distinctive speakers followed by exclusive tours of the Battlefields and grounds.
