About Homosassa
Homosassa is home to several state parks including Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, where you can observe manatees in an underwater observatory. The Yulee Sugar Mill State Park is a great stop to see a sugar mill that was used during the Civil War for troop supplies. Located on the Gulf of Mexico in Citrus County, Florida, Homosassa is a quiet and quaint community with a rich history that dates back to the 1800s. The first people to reside in Homosassa were native Americans who lived near what is now called Salt Springs until approximately 3,000 years ago. In more recent times, Homosassa was considered an important shipping port due to its sugar cane production and trade. Today, you can walk along downtown as you explore local eateries, shops and other attractions like the Museum of Natural History & Science at Homosassa Springs Environment Park.
