Old Citrus County Courthouse

The Old Citrus County Courthouse is a neoclassical courthouse building in Inverness featuring symmetrical proportions and a prominent central entrance with large windows. Classical architectural details throughout the interior reflect the design approach of the early 1900s.

The building was constructed in 1912 and served the growing administrative needs of Citrus County during the early 20th century. It was later converted into a museum to preserve and present the region's historical development and local stories.

The building now houses exhibits about local Black education and the region's natural springs history. Visitors can learn about the communities and stories that shaped life here over generations.

The building offers digital interactive displays about regional development and community stories in a downtown location. Visitors should plan for regular museum hours and can easily access the main building from the central square.

This courthouse appeared in the 1961 Elvis Presley film Follow That Dream, which later influenced restoration efforts on the upper floor. The movie connection helped guide the process of bringing back the building's original design and appearance.
