cedar key museum state park印象

Interesting museum, tells story of Cedar Key well. Interesting place to visit. I will go back when I return to Cedar Key.

For the size there is a lot of history and relics in the museum. The house is also very interesting.The highlight for us was seeing the eagle's nest from the short nature trail which was occupied at the time. There was also an osprey next to a nest right across the street.

This made for a fun little stop to learn more about the area. There were exhibits about the archeology, geology, industries, and collections of the many shells that used to be found around here. It was fun walking around the grounds and touring a turn-of-the-20th century home of a Cedar Key resident. The short nature trail takes you out to a great view of a bay full of mangrove islands. Museum is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. $2 to get in.

Small museum with lots of information. Liked the restored house. Took the nature path several times while staying in Cedar Key.

My husband and I rode our bikes from town out this museum/park. We enjoyed the trail and although the museum was small the exhibits really did a nice job telling you about the history of Cedar Key. The Whitman house is nicely restored and can be toured. We liked that it was included in the museum fee. You don't need a lot of time here, but it was a nice 1 hour visit with the trail, the house and the museum.

Great exhibits, knowledgeable staff, small-- but full of history, we love these kinds of places.Take the time to see the Confederate Salt Boiler (very large iron pot) and the house owned previously by St. Clair Whitman (yes, his real name), th ehome was moved from in town, out to the museum property (saved from demolition), St. Clair was a collector of artifacts from all over , which were donated to the Museum. Admission is only $2.00 and well worth it.

In the spirit of full disclosure, we didn't pay the $2, so we didn't tour the inside of the museum or the Whitman house. We were most interested in the displays outside (including the cannons and the Civil War era salt pot) and the walking trail that went down to the water. Like most places on Cedar Key, it's very quiet and very beautiful throughout the grounds. If you like looking at the wildlife, and scoping out the fauna, there's plenty of that to see here. I did only give it three stars because, as nature trails go, it was pleasant, and nice, which is about what I'd expect from a nature trail.

Easy walk around the property. Able to walk right up to the water if you like. Museum on site and historical home that is restored. Only $2 to see both. Trail through the marsh was well groomed.

The museum here is small with a few interesting exhibits. You can be in and out in less than 20 minutes but we enjoyed it all the same. The Whitman house was very interesting and we loved all the vintage pieces inside. I would not visit Cedar Key just to see this museum but if you have some time to kill in the area, it's worth your time to drop by. All in all, Cedar Key itself was disappointing....more traffic than I hoped and lots of bars/restaurants with extremely loud music not suited for conversation and appreciation of pretty vistas.....and did I mention there are unsightly smokestacks off in the distance.....

Nice little quiet place. Only $2 admission. Whitman house is interesting. Tells history of Cear Key.
