St. Clair Whitman, a local collector in Cedar Key, maintained an extensive collection of natural objects in his home. The Whitman House became the first museum in Cedar Key offering guided tours to visitors. Many years later, after his collection was moved to what is today's Cedar Key Museum State Park, the Whitman House was transferred to park property and restored to reflect life in the 1920s.
