The Florida Citrus Tower is on US Highway 27 just north of the intersection of State Road 50 and US-27 in Clermont. When the tower opened in 1956, US-27 was a major divided highway down the sandy central spine of Florida.
Tourists traveling down US-27 stopped at Citrus Tower on their way south. They would take the elevator to the top and see thousands of acres of citrus groves in all directions. Today the view is different but still fun.
