    Citrus Tower - Orange Butter Cream drink!!!

    The Citrus Tower in Clermont is one of those classic Florida roadside landmarks that still feels…read morerooted in the state's older tourism era. I've been to the Lake Placid tower, which is closed, so it was nice to see this one still operating. I passed through at 6am, well before sunrise, so the doors weren't open yet, but even from the outside the orange and white stripes and the height of the structure make it stand out. Built in 1956 as a 226 foot observation tower meant to showcase the miles of surrounding orange groves, it once drew up to 500,000 visitors a year when US 27 was the main north south route through Central Florida. Today the groves are mostly gone, but the tower remains open as a nostalgic attraction. Admission is usually around the ten dollar range for adults, depending on the season, and gets you access to the elevator ride up to the 360 degree observation deck. Considering the history behind it, including five million pounds of concrete, 149,000 pounds of steel, and a grand opening that drew representatives from Cypress Gardens and Silver Springs back in 1956, it's an inexpensive way to experience a piece of old Florida. Next time I'm passing through during actual business hours, I'll make a point to go up. [Review 1620 of 2025 - 2197 in Florida - 25168 overall]

    Wow, Florida is flat! :-D…read more I added the Citrus Tower onto my "to see" list when I found out I was going to be in Clermont. You don't need a whole lot of time here, but really appreciate how authentic they've kept the Tower. Instead of modern signage at the top, they still have hand-painted directional signs. I loved that! I also appreciated how they have ample labeling that tells you what you're looking at. They should rent binoculars; it could help them get toward their fundraising goal to support the Tower. I would have paid to rent some (e.g. they could hold your ID whilst you use them). The little cafe downstairs was pretty good, too; I grabbed a tea from there. Nice way to spend a bit of time! 2025: 13/100

    The Clermont Historic Village is a collection of historic buildings in Clermont, Florida. The City…read moreof Clermont purchased the land for the village in 1996 and it included the Train Depot and the Quonset Hut. Through the years various other historic buildings were moved to the village. The non profit South Lake Historical Society, formed in 1997 operates the village in conjunction with the City of Clermont. The mission of the historical society is to preserve, maintain, and share the history of South Lake County's pioneer families. The village opened in 2005. The historical society gives tours which covers the period of history from the 1800's to WWII. There are seven buildings that make up the village. These include the Herring Hooks Schoolhouse which was the last building added to the property. It is a replica of an 1881 one room schoolhouse that used to exist near Jack's Lake and served as Clermont's first school. It was recreated using old photographs. The Cooper Memorial Library was built in 1914 and nicknamed The Little Cooper. It was moved to the village from West DeSoto Street in 2009. The outhouse is a replica of one and was built as an Eagle Scout project. The Train Depot stands in its original location. It received refurbishment in 2011. The Quonset Hut was built by the US military and it is original to the WWII era. It has been turned into a museum. The Kern House was built in 1895 on Montrose Street in a traditional New England style by Alexander Kern. He was one of the original signers on the incorporation of Clermont. The house was moved to the village in 2008. The Townsend House was built in 1895 on SR 50 by the first Black family to move to Clermont, James and Sallie Townsend. It was the first building to be moved to the village in 2002 and it opened for tours in 2005. The Historic Village is free but asks for a suggested $5 per person donation. It is open for tours Saturday and Sunday between 1 and 4. You can contact them for private tours and rentals. Every year the Historical Society hosts a Heritage Day Festival. During my visit there was a very nice Christmas village on display. I love how the city of Clermont has preserved their history in these buildings. This is a great place to get a glimpse of what life was like at the turn of the century through WWII.

    We came to visit this little historic village and it's very scenic. The trees are so pretty too…read more There is parking and public restrooms available. We made a bad choice for dinner but I will return.

Based on my experience, I tried speaking for myself and defending myself because a cop was lying about multiple facts, she threatened to actually charge me rather than being the "Nice cop" that she was. (her words). I am very humble, I take accountability for my mistakes, and I always try to be the bigger person. She gathered a group of four other cops to pick on me, disrespect, lecture me, and yell at me. she tried getting me stripped of everything I have in my life, and when I finally broke sobbing my eyes out, she laughed with 2 other cops at me saying it was the highlight of her night to see me like that. All I had done, was makeout with a man in his car.
