Elliott Museum

The Elliott Museum is an automobile museum in Stuart, Florida that spans multiple galleries displaying automotive history, local heritage artifacts, baseball memorabilia, and contemporary art collections. The exhibits range from early vehicle designs to modern artwork, offering a broad overview across different collecting areas.

The museum was founded in 1961 to honor Sterling Elliott, an inventor who held 125 patents including the automobile steering knuckle. Harmon Elliott established the facility as a tribute to his father's technological contributions.

The museum displays inventions and machinery reflecting how American transportation technology and design evolved over time. Visitors can see how these innovations shaped the way people traveled and lived.

The museum is located at 825 NE Ocean Boulevard and opens daily from 10 AM to 5 PM with wheelchair accessibility throughout the facility. Plan to spend several hours comfortably exploring the different exhibition areas.

The museum houses an 1889 Elliott Hickory Quadricycle that demonstrates Sterling's early steering system innovations in vehicle manufacturing. This rare vehicle is one of the earliest examples of the founder's patented inventions on display.
