What is South Brooksville? 

South Brooksville is a tight knit historical community located in the east-central part of Hernando County with a rich faith-based history and presence.  Traditionally, it was a low density residential, industrial, and manufacturing area with an active railroad that passed through from north to south, known as the 1885 Train Depot.  The 1885 Train depot closed in 1971 and now sits as a historical museum site and is part of the Rails to Trail Program.  The area is also home to Brooksville, Engineering, Science and Technology Charter school and is the entryway to Downtown Brooksville.
