About The Sterling Society

The mission of the Elliott Museum is to enrich the community through a wide variety of exhibits collections, and lectures, all designed to serve the interests of the people who live in and visit the Treasure Coast.
In honor of Sterling Elliott, the Sterling Society was established by a group of people of vision who support the HSMC both financially, and with their desire that the organization, and it’s two historic museums will evolve to become unmatched points of pride for the region. Sterling Society member’s continuing support helps to keep the organization on a straight path for success by:
- Enabling the organization to provide enriching experiences, affordable access, and wonderful memories for everyone who crosses our threshold.
- Evolving both campuses under the HSMC umbrella to become dynamic, interactive, & participatory venues.
- Positioning the HSMC on a sustainable business platform for long-term service to the community.
