Elliott Museum, Florida, United States
4.5 (597 reviews) Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #3 in Stuart Speciality Museums
A gem of a museum.
What diverse collections! We loved learning about Sterling Elliott's inventions and ingenuity. The car collection, Wow! Speaking with the creator of the James Bond boat made from Grumman aircraft scraps was unforgettable. The local Bonnie and Clyde: John of the Ashley Gang and Laura Upthegrove were amazing, but listening to the volunteer's stories about his life experience in Stuart was spectacular. The 2nd largest collection of signed baseball memorabilia outside of Cooperstown. We enjoyed learning more about Frances Langford; we've seen her in old films on TV. How on earth did they hang the aircraft? Then the General Store was so intriguing. What a visit!!!

Quirky and worth a couple of hours
I recently spent about two hours exploring this museum. It was quirky with an unusual mix of items. It could best be described as either a museum of ingenuity or a museum of Americana. Elliott was an inventor and a collector. So, prototypes of his inventions are there, as well as some art, antique cars, a fully restored historic general store has been set up on the second floor, and there are antique baseball cards too. As I said, it is a quirky mix. The best value is to buy the $18 combination ticket that will also get you access to the House of Refuge Museum, which is fascinating and located only one mile away. The antique car elevator is not-to-be-missed. This was my husband's favorite part! They also have some rotating exhibits. Currently, one on the Seminoles is going up. There is also a miniature painting exhibit up right now that is amazing. There is a huge. free parking lot. There is also a cafe, but I did not try that during my visit. I would recommend this museum. It is a great way to kill a couple of hours.
