It would be nice if they told visitors that the car display turn table was broken down before they pay. We went there for that and were disappointed. When I brought it to the attention of the desk they acted like they didn't know. When asked for a senior discount on an item my wife was buying they acted like I was crazy. Another tourist trap rip off.

The Elliot Museum, in Stuart, is a collection of vintage cars, anything on wheels, baseball, trains, books, artwork, vintage items, etc. It is right on Hutchinson Island, and we just loved looking around and taking pictures. Supposedly, there is only 4 of the “car mechanical picks” left in the US. You ask one of the tour guides to pick a vehicle from one of 3 floors, and it is magically removed from its slot and brought down to the first level for people to fully view as it spins around.
The Museum offers local history exhibits, and is becoming a cultural hub in the community offering a variety of opportunities to discover, experience, and engage. They have different events and lectures through the year.
There is a combo ticket where you go down the road to The House of Refuge - another amazing place with stunning ocean views. The tour guide is a wealth of information of how these houses came to be. (Only one left now in Florida)

The car museum was simply spectacular though I don't think the cost to get in was worth it. There was a Norman Rockwell exhibit I do love his work but it was just magazine covers I would have preferred seeing his paintings and there was an extra charge to get in for that which was not worth it.

Who knew?!? Thought it was a museum of history for the area. Was seriously surprised when I found that it is primarily an automobile history museum! My husband was in heaven. I've been to numerous car events with him but both he and I said we saw vehicles (including tractor-trailers) that we have never seen before. Additionally, they have an incredible section where they have cars displayed that they can "bring to you". There is a section where you can see vehicles in a glassed-in area. You pick the one that you want to see up close and the operator pushes a button that automatically moves the car along an elevated system that brings it to you. It is automatically placed on a "turn table" in front of you so you can see it up close and personal.
Wow!! Thought I had seen it all!

Average to almost poor rating due to info desk lack of communication. They had a Staurday Evening Post cover exhibit. Would I like to see for extra charge? Sure. Not explained was the fact that you cannot photograph, period. Oh, signs are posted ONCE you get to the exhibit, but no one tells you this when you're spending the money at ticket counter. I would not have wasted the extra fee, as I cannot memorize hundreds over covers and would have picked out a few to photo (many of these are in the public eye already for crying out loud). As for the rest, it's a limted selection of cars, more than half of which are enclosed in a garage-o-matic rack system that hasn't worked in years. These and a bunch of Americana. That said, a shout out for the Cunningham on display - super rare, super interesting. While the story of the founder is interesting and he was an impressive man, this is still a museum/building in search of a purpose. Not especially rewarding unless you are already in the area.

Give yourself a lot of time to go through this gem of a museum. There are so many cars there you still won't get through them all. I really enjoyed learning the history of cars, bicycles, motorcycles, inventions. Wonderful place, I'd recommend it to anyone visiting nearby.

The original Elliott Museum was built in 1961 by Harmon Elliott as a tribute to his father, Sterling Elliott. On November 18, 1961
Sterling Elliott (1852–1922) produced a series of successful inventions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He held more than 125 patents, receiving his first at age 22. He was foremost an Inventor but also a successful businessman. His tenacity and determination to improve on everyday objects helped enhance the quality of life for established businesses, as well as the average person. His inventive mind and creative genius developed the first Knot Tying machine (No.237,966 ), the low wheeled trotting sulky (No.494,113), the Elliott addressing machine (No.707,961), the pneumatic tire (No.487,874), the ball bearing (No. 483,836) and last but not least the unequal turning of the front wheels or steering knuckle (i.e.- kingpin) that would turn out to be a critical element in the success of the automobile.
Mr. Elliott’s first well-known invention was the non-turning front axle and self-equalizing brake system he incorporated on his four-wheel quadricycle when he discovered that the wheels on the bike squealed when turning. That is when he realized that you couldn’t just connect the front wheels of a normal pair of bicycles with a tie rod, that somehow the inside wheel must turn at a slower speed than the one on the outside if you were to prevent that squeal. With this in mind, Mr. Elliott went home and into his pantry that was between the kitchen and the dining room, there he fastened a piece of string between the inside surfaces of each door. Then, whether swung to the right or the left, the doors remained parallel and swung exactly the same. Next he shortened the string so that the doors were at an angle, their hinges being further apart than their front edges. Standing in the pantry he pushed the left hand door toward the kitchen and noted that only a small amount of movement in this direction produced considerably more movement to the right hand door. After again closing the doors he pushed the right hand door a small distance into the dining room and noticed that the kitchen door opened again wider than it had before. It didn’t take long for him to convert that principle to his quadricycle. It took an imaginative bicycle manufacturer to come up with the steering solution, so simple, that it has remained to this day the basic system of front wheel steering implemented in automobiles worldwide.
Although this patent expired in 1907, the records show that a number of early automobile manufacturers paid royalties to Elliott for this invention. Among these were the Duryea, Haynes, and Stanley
Elliott’s Quadricycle (Velocipede), for which he received United States Patent No. 442,663 on December 16, 1890, featured the non-turning front axle, the unequal turning of the front wheels, a differential rear axle, independent vertical action of all four wheels, and self-equalizing brakes. Many of Sterlings inventions, including the quadricycle, can be found in the Elliott Museum which was founded by his only son, Harmon Elliott.[1]
Early life
Sterling Elliott was born in 1852 on a farm in Ortonville, Michigan. At the age of twelve years all of the farm work was turned over to Sterling. At the age of seventeen, with help from his mother, Sterling Elliott packed a bag and left home. He walked the 92 miles to Grand Rapids where he arrived in 1869 with about $8.00 in his pocket. His first job in Grand Rapids was to work on the railroad trains selling candy and fruit. In 1870 he went to Chicago where he worked for a wealthy business man, Mr. Matthew Laflin. In Chicago Sterling Elliott was granted several United States Patents on his invention, but he had no shop of his own and contracted with others to manufacture his inventions. Mr. Elliott decided to move to Boston, Massachusetts where he opened his first machine shop. In 1882 he bought some land a few miles west of Boston and moved into his own factory (Elliott 5-11).
Bicycle era
From 1885 to 1896 Sterling Elliott made many products, but his principal products were bicycles and trotting sulkies and as a side line he published "The Bicycling World" and was President of the League of American Wheelmen and Chairman of its committee that controlled Bicycle Racing (Pridmore and Hurd 10). In 1887 Sterling Elliott made a four-wheeled bicycle which he called a quadricycle and with it experienced all the problems that automobile manufacturers were later to face. Sterling Elliott sold the Elliott Bicycle Factory to the Stanley Brothers of Stanley Steamer car fame and opened the Elliott Addressing Machine Company in 1900 (Elliott 21-25).
Elliott Addressing Machine Company
Sterling Elliott had invented the addressing machine to address his magazine wrappers in 1898. In 1909 Sterling Elliott asked his only son Harmon Elliott to become his partner at the Elliott Addressing Machine Company. Harmon accepted the position and took over management after Sterling's death on February 13, 1922 (Elliott 52).

Hi:
Is there a place to eat inside? If not, can one go out to eat and be able to get back? If yes, what it offers?
Also, do you accept tickets brought thru Groupon?

There is a baseball card collection, memorabilia from actress Francis Langford, inventions from Herman Elliott, various traveling exhibits which current one has lots of info on water and ocean research. Any visit will generally take 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on how much you wish to read and observe exhibits. There are lectures that are very educational - ones we attended was from Classic Cars, another with Former MLB Commissioner Fay Vincent, and a talk about the Moon Landing from former Grumman execs. The place is really a treat and worthy a visit.
