In Inverness, Victorian homes and a restored, early-20th century courthouse tell of the county's relatively recent past. Another location of interest to history buffs is the Yulee Sugar Mills State Historic Site. After all, Inverness' population is perhaps 7,000 and Crystal River's approximately 4,500. They are small towns, yet plenty of shopping is available right here in the county. The Crystal River Mall offers national retailers as anchors plus several specialty stores.
Antiques are another story.
Nightlife Nightclubs are rare. But people who live here get together in their homes or go out to eat frequently, just as they do elsewhere. Housed in what was once a 19th-century home, the K.C. Crump Restaurant serves good food at its historic location on the Homosassa River. If you have a boat, float on down from Crump's to Crow's Nest Restaurant on Sunset Island in the gulf, where there's food with a view. Churchill's Grill in the very-British Crown Hotel in Inverness is another good place to enjoy an evening out.
