Formed in 1963, the Citrus County Historical Society, Inc. exists to preserve and further the knowledge of the history and pre-history of Citrus County and nearby areas and, since 1985, has been located in the restored 1912 Old Citrus County Courthouse. In the local history gallery, the museum contains an exhibit on the role of Citrus County in the Civil War.

The exhibit includes interpretation of Florida in the Civil War, local Home Guard units, blockade runners, David Levy Yulee’s sugar mill, and the burning of the Yulee plantation home by Union

Troops.
