Elliott Museum

The Elliot Museum is located in Stuart, Florida and is in the process of expansion. The museum is owned and managed by the Historical Society of Martin County. The new museum will be an educational and cultural destination blending invention, innovation, history and art, all in an effort to preserve and celebrate Stuart and Martin County history. The museum was founded by Harmon Elliott, who wanted a way to honor his father Sterling. Sterling Elliott was an inventor and reformer and served as an inspiration for those in the creative fields. Visitors to the museum enjoy a historic gallery, a collection of vintage vehicles and several of Sterling's inventions. In addition to Elliott's art, there are several exhibits dedicated to the art of local residents. The Studio at the Elliott provides a chance to explore art and even to create it on your own. The museum also owns the largest collection of signed baseball memorabilia, aside from the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. This collection includes journals, contracts, cards, balls, bats and trophies. The new museum includes twice the space of the original Elliott, environmental controls to help preserve the collections and hurricane-resistant, eco-friendly construction.
