AT THE ELLIOTT MUSEUM AND HOUSE OF REFUGE, WE STRIVE TO EXCITE STUDENTS, EMPOWER TEACHERS, AND PROVIDE A UNIQUE LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

We invite you to bring your students and groups to the Elliott Museum and House of Refuge for unique learning experiences.

For Schools

The Museum provides you with the flexibility of creating a customized field trip program that best suits your curriculum, budget, and schedule.

Students in the Museum must be supervised at all times. It is vital that chaperones and teachers accompany students while in the building, both to monitor behavior and to ensure students’ safety.

The required student-chaperone ratios are 1 adult for every 10 students, grades 3 – 12

Other Essential information

Note: We do not have storage for student lunches; Schools must provide coolers so they can remain on the bus.

• No food or beverages are permitted in the Museum exhibit areas.
• Bus parking is located along the grassy areas at the far North or West sections of the main parking lot. The driver may visit the Museum at no charge.
• Brown bag lunches may be eaten outside on our lawn or you may use the County picnic areas at Stuart Beach across the street from the Museum.

Check-in

A coordinator should represent your group and check-in and be prepared to:

• Give an exact count of students in your group.
• Pay in full by check, money order, cash, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) for all members of the group.

Photography is permitted throughout the Museum except for original artwork or where No Photography signs are posted.

Only five students at a time may enter the Museum Store and must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
