The Old Courthouse Heritage Museum

[LaurieD]

The Old Courthouse Heritage Museum, a part of the Citrus County Historical Society, Inc. is located in downtown, and is the heart and soul of the community of Inverness, in Citrus County, Florida.

Our current exhibition titled: Men, Salt, Cattle and Battle: Florida in the Civil War will be on display in the John Murray Davis Rotating Exhibit Gallery until the end of August, 2008.

This display of pictures, early maps and historic photographs, and rare and unique artifacts is used to help relate the story of Florida’s special role in the Civil War. Florida played a vital role in the war with its approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline. This exhibit also highlights the importance of Florida cattle which provided much of the beef for the main Confederate Army, particularly during the later stages of the War.

Additional features that add to the depth and richness of this exhibition include a multi-media presentation and a group of scrapbooks that have been created depicting other significant keynote aspects of the Civil War.
