For 125 years, one building has quietly witnessed the story of Stuart.

It began as Parks General Store, became the Stuart Feed Store that generations remember, and today serves as the Stuart Heritage Museumโ€”preserving the people, places, and stories that shaped our community.

Join us as we celebrate this remarkable milestone with an evening of history, memories, music, and fellowship.
Beverages and light appetizers will be served.

We've been listening.

For the past week, guests have been walking through our newly restored House of Refuge, exploring the fresh exhibits, and experiencing The Tempest.

The comments have been remarkable.

Some visitors have lingered in the exhibits longer than expected. Others have returned with friends and family because they wanted someone else to experience it. Many have told us they had no idea how dramatic, dangerous, and extraordinary life along this coastline once was.

After nearly a year of restoration, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing people connect with the stories that have lived within these walls since 1876.

If you haven't visited recently, come see what's new. Explore our reimagined exhibits, discover artifacts you may have never noticed before, and step into The Tempest to experience the power of the ocean and the tranquility of our marine life below.

History feels different when you're standing inside it.
