Old Courthouse Heritage Museum

The Old Courthouse Heritage Museum is a free and educational attraction that is located in Inverness, Florida. Open from Monday to Friday, from 10am until 4pm, the museum symbolizes the pioneering spirit for law and order in the area in the early 19th century. It is a popular site for visitors and community events, including weddings, school field trips, reunions, small trade shows and art exhibitions.

With free admission, visitors to the museum explore the museum's archives, collections and exhibits through interpretive presentations and tours in the rotating gallery. Its programs and events enable visitors to appreciate the long path to lawfulness that was needed to govern what was once a very isolated community.

The most important part of the museum is its rehabilitated, second floor courtroom. In fact, the courtroom was used for the Presley film, 'Follow That Dream', made in 1961. Varied photos, documents, court records, court equipment and other artefacts have kept the original courtroom as close to its original form as possible.

The Old Courthouse Heritage Museum is protected as one of the state's national historical monuments. It is also used by many children to learn about the process of law and the state justice system.
