Cedar Key is known to be the location of many burial mounds of the ( Timucuan ) original native people of this area. After the white folks took over, it became a major shipping port for Cedar logs, pencils, turpentine, phosphate and more. Nowadays, its kinda of a tourist trap, though this is exactly the Florida Kitsch that I crave.
I should have come alone to have more time to walk around more but I will come back at some point. It is fairly close to Manatee Springs, so a great combo to see the two again is in the future. I was happy, though not surprised to find an arts community out there.
