Citrus County Historical Society Collection

Over the years, donations from the descendants of pioneer families, amateur fossil hunters, history buffs, and private estates have enriched and expanded our collection of Citrus County artifacts. Please consider donating today!

The Historical Society uses your donations of old tools, military items, wood carvings, and household goods (to name just a few!) to research and interpret the history of our West Central Gulf Coast area and Citrus County. These artifacts help us tell an accurate, unbiased story of the people, places, and events that have shaped our area. If you have something you think should be in our collections, please contact us at (352) 341-6428, or write us at csociety@tampabay.rr.com.
