Cedar Key | City At The End Of The Road

Cedar Key is an incredible city on the west coast of Florida. They were chosen by the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street Crossroads series to showcase and celebrate the stories that make up the rich history of small towns.
We have had the privilege to work with the people of this community to create a video and learn about the stories that have made the community who they are.

Joy and I are here today...loving every minute. We are from Zephyrhills, FL...about two hours south...and we come to Cedar Key often to totally relax. There's no place like Cedar Key, and this video captures the spirit of the community. We love it!

Love it there

Ian and Darren at The Firefly Cottages (formerly Mermaid's Landing) treated us like royalty. We just showed up and were very comfortable just being ourselves. Everyone in Cedar Key are so friendly; we met several new friends there. They take the time with you, which is something very rare these days.

I'm from Yankeetown, I used to go to Cedar Key as a kid. Coastal Levy County is beautiful, we need to protect old Florida and stop Desantis from building his highways through our communities.

As a Chiefland small horse farm and rescue we couldnt agree with you more . We happen to be in the 4 mile corridor , 1 mile from 19 and most likely will lose our farm to concrete . My grandfather owned a place on the river in Yankee town back in the 30s and 40s Theres nothing good about progress !

Very well done

[@chasingamurderer]

Well Orlando wouldn't do a thing. They are a self caring community. I am happy to see community like yours still exists. I am actually looking into moving here

What's ironic about this The title says "City at the end of the road" Many moons ago on the spring of 1992, my graduation class picked the song by Boys to Men And their version of "So hard to say goodbye II Yesterday" The line in the song Says "I don't know where this road will lead" SR 24 goes to the end of the Street and you make a left, make your way to the beach and city park, or go around the "Big Dock" and make your way back out of town on 24, back to Bronson or perhaps Gainesville, in my case it was Ocala for 11 years, then moved back to my home state of Ohio I will always remember the interesting times of the five years I spent in Cedar Key

[@Dragonfly657]

I’m moving there

[@shawnhampshirehick101]

[@RM-vk2cg]

[@crystalcloud6720]

Do you need a younger, laid back generation to move there and carry on the charm of this beautiful little town?

[@skream.mp3351]

no

What a lie...the hotel we stayed at on the left overcharged us so bad it was a scalping experience...then you can't drive there you have to rent a golf cart..
