Cedar Key- Shell Mound

An interesting park outside Cedar Key is Shell Mound.  This five acre plot contains millions of mussel and clam shells, also fish and deer bones, which are stacked up to 25' above sea level.  A camp site of the Calusa Indians, it is believed to be over 6,000 years old. A neat site which shows that scantily clad girls and steamed clams were popular long before Hooters made their food chain famous.
