Elliott Museum
The Elliott Museum is a tribute to inventors, sports heroes, and collectors, created by the son of turn-of-the-20th-century inventor Sterling Elliott. A gallery of patents and models of machines, invented by the museum’s founder and his son, provides an intriguing glimpse into the business of tinkering. The collection of over 50 restored antique cars is also impressive. Sports fans will appreciate the baseball memorabilia, including about 250 autographed baseballs. There are also displays evoking an apothecary, an ice-cream parlor, a barbershop, and other old-fashioned commercial enterprises, as well as an authentic hand-carved miniature circus. Much of Elliott's contents can be found at the House of Refuge Museum; shuttle service is provided between the two.
