For over 50 years, the Elliott Museum in Stuart, Florida has preserved our region's history, celebrated innovation and provided inspiration for future generations. Now the Elliott is preparing to make history of its own, as the current museum makes way for a state-of-the-art facility, slated to open in 2013.
