Brooksville is the Hernando County seat and the metro's northern historic anchor, built on rolling hills unusual for Florida. Its downtown centers on the 1913 courthouse (replacing the 1885 original's role) and Hernando Park, with brick streets, antique shops, and local breweries. The city is the gateway to the Withlacoochee State Forest — the Good Neighbor Trail, Croom Motorcycle Area, and Chinsegut Hill's wildlife area — giving it a distinctly rural, outdoorsy character.
