Florida Citrus Tower- Clermont, Florida

We were trying to stop at all of the classic roadside attractions that are still around in Florida.  The Florida Citrus Tower was on our list!

The Tower was built in the 50s to let tourists see all of the oranges grown around the Orlando area!

Well, there really aren't any oranges being grown around here now.  You can still take the elevator to the top to see the area though!

In the main entrance area (before you take the elevator ride to the top) there are cases full of Citrus Tower memorabilia, and there are pictures up, showing off some of the proud moments of it's past.

Lilly's Gift Shop is set up here too.  This was a very nice, slightly more upscale type of gift shop.

The Florida Citrus Tower is not the huge draw it once was, but it is still very cool!
