The Cedar Key Historical Society Museum is Cedar Key's premiere cultural and historical museum, showcasing a wide variety of exhibits connected to the region's history from prehistory through the present day. The museum, which is located within the Cedar Keys Historic and Archaeological District, was originally the vision of local artist Polly Pillsbury, who worked with a group of citizen donors to found a museum to preserve the region's rich history and opened the museum to the public in 1979. Today, it spans two preserved historic buildings, including the 1871 Lutterloh Building, which is home to exhibits on the region's fossil findings, indigenous cultural artifacts, economic industries, and connections to famed naturalist John Muir. The adjacent Andrews House annex, a relocated building that was originally constructed on Atsena Otie Key, showcases exhibits on the region's railroading history, manufacturing, and medical and dental history.
