ABOUT THE ELLIOTT

A Tribute to Genius

South Florida has long been enriched by seasonal residents. Harmon Elliott (1887 - 1969), son of prolific inventor Sterling Elliott, was among those who have made a mark on the Stuart area. To celebrate his father's work and bring an educational and cultural resource to the region, Harmon provided the principal funds for the original Elliott Museum which opened in 1961. The Soroptimist Club of Stuart had prevented the last House of Refuge from being demolished, and Harmon was impressed with the way they had taken care of it. He tasked them with running the Elliott Museum in addition to the House of Refuge, and the Historical Society of Martin County was established to oversee both facilities.
