Excellent pictures and displays of the history of Cedar Key. A well preserved home with great information about use of the natural resources in the area.

My husband and I wandered on to this museum while out for a stroll. We decided to take a chance and check it out - I'm glad we did! The man that was there was incredibly knowledgeable. I could not believe that such a little town had such a collection of artifacts and historical items. It was a very interesting... More

If you find yourself thirsty for more than fishing and local color, this will be a good destination. I don't think anyone just wanders in to Cedar Key, since it is located at the end of the world. We were there for the art show, and after getting lost in some cracker town about 40 miles away, our AT&T iPhone... More

Not always open. Check for hours. It is a small museum and, like everything else in Cedar Key is within walking distance.

For such a small community Cedar Key has a very interesting Historical Museum. The docents are knowledgeable and all very nice and helpful. This museum is run by all volunteers. At a reasonable cost of $2 per person it is a must visit, after all the money collected is used for building upkeep, supplies and all the other expenses to... More

Be sure to drop by here to get a feel of Cedar Key's interesting past. The exhibits are well presented and one should not look for state-of-the-art displays in such a homely little place. The staff (volunteers) are helpful. Not always open though.

Adequate displays. I'm glad they have one. I especially liked the information on the various cottages in town and would have like more of that and more on the old island families.

It is a place to read,see and learn about Cedar Key's past... the many artifacts, literature articles and display models that brought the history of CK alive was a pleasant experience. You can go through this museum a number of times and still see or read something that you missed the time before....take your time and absorb ( after all,... More
