Elliott Museum

Elliott Museum Review

Anticipating a January 2013 opening, the museum's glittering new 44,000-square-foot facility will be double its previous size and house a permanent collection along with traveling exhibits. It was founded in 1961 in honor of Sterling Elliott, an inventor of an early automated-addressing machine, the egg crate, and a four-wheel bicycle, and it celebrates history, art, and technology, much of it viewed through the lens of the automobile's effect on American society. There's an impressive array of antique cars, plus paintings, historic artifacts, and nostalgic goods like vintage baseball cards and toys. Call before visiting to check opening hours.
