Ocali Country Days
For one week, early in November, the Center and Park put on the Ocali Country Days as a fund raiser. This is a 19th century, living history event with displays, talks, and performances incorporating living historians. For that Tuesday through Friday it is open to public, private and home school-age children and their teachers who have made reservations with the Center. In 2008, attendance was limited to 1,200 students and teachers per day and this quota was filled every day. So make your reservations early.
The event is open to the general public on Saturday and Sunday and has become a popular annual attraction in the area.

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or days:
“A man’s destination is not his destiny,
Every country is home to one man
And exile to another. Where a man dies bravely
At one with his destiny, that soil is his.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Now days are dragon-ridden, the nightmare
Rides upon sleep: a drunken soldiery
Can leave the mother, murdered at her door,
To crawl in her own blood, and go scot-free;
The night can sweat with terror as before
We pieced our thoughts into philosophy....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
