Description
In 1961 the sleepy small town of Inverness Florida became the setting for Elvis Presley's 9th film "Follow that Dream". Most of the film takes place within the courthouse but during breaks the "King" would often be found on the courthouse lawn tossing a football with some of the local kids. It is safe to say that his visit there for about a week is / was the biggest event the area has ever known. The Historic Citrus County Courthouse is now a museum after a new courthouse was built. This structure is on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992. The building is uniquely situated on a square lot at 45 degree angles.
