Cedar Key Museum State Park

Established in 1962 and dedicated to St. Clair Whitman who operated the first museum in Cedar Key. Most of Mr. Whitman’s collections are displayed in the museum. These collections include exhibits on the Timucuan Indians, antique glassware, old bottles, a very complete collection of seashells, items from the pencil manufacturing days, fiber broom and brush manufacturing, and photographs of old Cedar Key. The Museum also features the St. Clair Whitman house that originally stood on the property the Whitman Point Townhouses now occupy.  The family of St. Clair Whitman to the State of Florida donated this house.  The home is restored to show what it was like to live in Florida during the 1920’s when the home was built.
