Presidents Hall Of Fame, Clermont, FL.

The Presidents Hall of Fame museum is in Clermont Florida, right next to the Citrus Tower!  This was a "must stop" on our latest road trip!

Unlike many of the other museums we have visited, this museum doesn't focus on one president, it covers them all!

Inside, there are wax statues of all of the Presidents!  There are also many toys of each one (I was pleased to see the Marx toys Presidents, one of my all time favorite toy lines).  A nice display case with buttons, other toys, postcards, and other collectibles is devoted to each individual President.  I loved looking through these cases!

Inside the main attraction is arguably the 1/12th scale replica of the White House!

The smaller White House has been admired by Presidents and First Ladies, some of whom have left signed notes mentioning their approval.

This doll house version of the White House is very exact.  It is so perfect that it has been used as a stand in for the real thing!  In the museum, we watched a very nicely done video about the limited time when one president moves out, and a new one moves in.  Well, the people who made the video had very limited access to the real White House, so THIS ONE was used instead!

The museum does have a bit of a disorganized feel at times.  Other unrelated relics and displays are here... and I have read some critical reviews of the museum because of the weathered outside appearance.

To me, I admire the slightly random feel here and there at the Presidents Hall of Fame.  It lets you know that the museum is owned and operated by a passionate collector and not a stuffy, formal curator with little personal connection to the displays.

The place has a great gift shop too, with some cool vintage items being sold at reasonable prices.  I found some old slides of the wax presidents for pocket change each!  I also picket up a few political buttons!

The Presidents Hall of Fame Museum is amazing, I could spent hours just admiring the detail on the White House....  I could spent hours admiring the cases.....

Stopping here and stopping to see the Citrus Tower would be a great way to spend a day on your next drive through Florida!
