Charter for City of Stuart
In 1933, as Stuart emerged from the Great Depression, the community formalized its identity by adopting this city charter, the legal foundation that would guide Stuart's growth for generations to come. Two copies of this essential document survive, with one bearing the notation of the City Attorney, marking it as an official working copy central to Stuart's civic operations.
On display, upstairs, Library.
