    Great experience and even the younger kids remained engaged. Very nicely laid out and everything was maintained well. Would love to come again and spend more time checking out the rotating car display. Also, very veteran friendly with admission.

    The museum was quite impressive. Its exhibition includes maritime, baseball, and local history galleries; and bicycles, classic wooden boats, motorcycles, over 90 cars and trucks, and even an airplane. Over 50 vehicles are displayed in a unique robotic racking system which retrieves vehicles on demand for display on a turntable. This was the coolest. It's a great visit for all .

    What an excellent museum! It was definitely bigger than I imagined. I drove 2 hours to come check this place out. It was worth the drive. So much history here. Great collection of automobiles. I loved everything about it. I highly recommend if you are in the area or looking for something to do.

    The Elliot museum is a very cool looking modern building near the beach. It has a rotating exhibit that feature local artists and photographers. It has some interesting historical information about people and places in Florida. There is a large collection of old cars, trucks, bikes, motorcycles, and an airplane. My favorite part was the old general store that is from the late 1800's.

    One of the best museums on the treasure coast. You can see many many very vintage cars that are very cool and even some of the first electric cars ever made. I would suggest anybody going here just for the history of Stuart sewell's point in the surrounding areas. Class act all the way.

    This museum was a pleasant surprise. My family and I enjoyed it immensely. We were in town and looking for indoor activities and came across this gem. Staff is extremely friendly. The car collection is quite impressive. I loved the Everglades through pictures section.

    I stopped here on the way home because Steve, out at the refuge, suggested the combo ticket. Although I think the museum focuses, foremost, on motor vehicle technology, then history, I think I like the… Well, you can see from the pictures what I like the most. I had a great time here and I will be back. Especially because there are a couple of paintings that I want to buy from the gift shop

    First time here, always see it on the way home and since it’s my birthday today decided to check it out. The car collection is very nice, beautiful cars, the way they have them set up I can stay here for hours as I am a car enthusiast. The paintings are gorgeous and found out about THE HIGHWAYMEN and their art 🖼️ wonderful wonderful… I would love to come back with my son, perfect place if you want to see some very cool things.

    Awesome King Tut display but the rest of the museum is really something. A variety of historical items from the area and well worth the price of admission my fellow travelers.

    This is the oasis in Florida. What an amazing museum of cars and antiques. Cool stuff, great information, and lots of learning today on our journey to lunch on the beach, a good 1 to 2 hour distraction. Cars, boats, models, trains, and a couple of cool facts!

    A unique combination of classic cars and historical artifacts located right next to public beach access. Be sure to ask Larry at the top of the stairs to show you the boat he built from scrap airplane parts.

    A must see if you're in the Jensen area. There is a good assortment of stuff to see. The baseball and car exhibits were cool. Norman Rockwell exhibit is good, but not really worth the extra money unless you want to consider it a donation. I viewed it. The cars to me were the best. Their storage and displays were quite unique and interesting. Highly recommend visiting. You won't be disappointed..plan on about 2-3 hours.

    Wonderful museum, very unusual. Lots of cars on the floor and a display where the cars are on three levels and you can request to see a car. They use a lift get the car and load it on a turntable to view. Various other displays including the Ashley gang, a general store, the story of Evanrude boats. The baseball display is fun. Well worth a visit and price is inexpensive. The docents are very good and helpful. We spent a couple of hours and could have easily spent several more.

    The Elliot museum's car collection is primarily model A and T older cars, but there are several more modern cars to enjoy. The real amazing part of this collection is that nearly 50 cars are racked in an automated storage system. Each car requested for viewing is brought out of the three story racks and placed on a revolver turntable for viewing. A technological marvel worth the visit. The staff were pleasant and willing to show me many requests for specific cars. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend a visit if you are in the Stuart Florida area or passing nearby on travel.

    Great museum with rich history of the Treasure Coast. Great selection of cars with a cool system to take a car off a multi-level rack to a display. Just pick the car and the device rings the car front and center and gives you a 360 view. Interesting display as this is a replica of a steam engine that was produced in my hometown in upstate New York.

    Excellent place. We came from Orlando skipping hurricane Idalia. They are very welcoming people. We felt like home. We had an excellent time. Thank you all. God bless.

    Looking at all the beautiful photos, I realize how much I miss The Elliott Museum ! And surrounding area. The exhibit on Bob Hope and Frances Langford was amazing. The antique cars are great ! Next time I come to visit my family I will be sure to visit The Elliott.

    I hadn’t been here since the new building was constructed 10 years ago. The car collection is certainly a highlight, as is the system that allows you to select and bring down cars from the upper levels for a closer examination. However there are other impressive displays as well, including a wonderful selection of paintings by The Highwaymen.

    Who knew there was so much to do in Florida that doesn't involve theme parks? We bought a combo ticket for the Elliott and House of Refuge museums. Both were just great. Elliott museum is packed with an impressive classic and antique car collection, plus a hand built, one of a kind motorboat. We had the pleasure of meeting the actual designer and operator of said watercraft. Lots of interesting local and not so local artifacts and displays. My personal favorite was the Highwayman painting gallery. Perfect 2 hour visit close to Marriot Hutchinson island hotels and condos.

    A very well laid out museum. Loads of old cars , motorcycles,buses and a few trucks. Old time general store, baseball history………..

  • 5/5 Cheryl R. 1 year ago on Google
    Grab a docent and take their tours! There is so much to see and learn, but it is more meaningful if you hear it and can ask questions from one of the very informative guides standing by. Highly recommend the Elliot! We were fortunate to catch the Highwayman exhibit. Not sure what is there now, but whatever it is, it will be worth . Additionally they have several permanent exhibits that are just fascinating!
