The Citrus Museum




The "Citrus Museum", Located next to the Clifford House, is the only
independently housed citrus museum located in the state of Florida and
rightly so, because at one time Eustis was known, both nationally and
internationally, as the "Orange Capital of the World", however, due to
the effects of nature it can no longer claim that title.



The museum contains a large, formally displayed collection of labels,
posters, utensils, tools, equipment and other memorabilia, relating to
the citrus industry in Florida. Included in the exhibits are some of the
various devices used to measure the quality of the fruit; packers' seals
used to emboss their invoices to validate their reputation as a quality
producer; a device to convert ripe "green skinned" oranges to an orange
color without detracting from their quality; a Grove Chemical Fire Engine
and many, many more items.
