There's still "money" in Cedar Key, but way back when, Cedar Key was the western terminus of one of Florida's earliest railroads. It "opened" up Cedar Key. dgh
Yes there is deep history in that town, all other surrounding keys used to be inhabited but are now nature preserves. In the 1800's both Eberhard Faber and the Eagle Pencil Company had mills there using the abundant cedar tree population to make pencils. I have been going down there every Spring for 5 years now. I have spent a lot of time at the museum and learning about the history of the area. I really would love to move there and if all else fails retire in the area.
