Very small. Interesting artifacts. Takes approx. 20 minutes to see everything. Kind of confusing between the two houses that hold the displays. OK for what it was, not a repeater though.

The interesting displays and of course the neat pencils which we still use. They are getting pretty short now, though.

Was really interesting to learn about the history of Cedar Key. I hadn't realized a lot of things and it was a self guided tour so you could take as much or as little time as you wanted

A small museum in town that will take you an hour or less to go through. Attendant is very nice and knowledgable. Self guided and a lot of interesting information.

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
