Erected by the Florida Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1954, the Florida Monument is located on former national park property, which was later deeded back to the City of Vicksburg.

This granite monolith monument commemorates the service of the three Florida regiments in General Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Relief which was unable to break the Union siege of Vicksburg in 1863.
