The Coastal Heritage Museum is a local history museum operated
by the Crystal River Heritage Council in the old City Hall building.
Built in 1939 by WPS labor, the exterior is constructed of natural
limestone quarried locally. This was the first permanent home
for the Crystal River city government and was used until the
1970s.
In June 1986, the Citrus County Historical Society opened the
museum staffed by volunteers. On May 29, 1998, the old City
Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The museum was closed in 2000 for repairs and reopened in 2001
under the direction of the volunteers of the Crystal River Heritage
Council.
