Jacket
This jacket, preserved in its original Stuart department store bag, represents the civic pride and fraternal traditions that wove through the fabric of mid-20th century Stuart life.
The Eastern Star and Odd Fellows were mutual aid and social organizations that brought together families and neighbors, meeting regularly to support one another and strengthen community bonds during an era when such lodges were central gathering places. The bag itself is a small reminder of the local merchants who served Stuart's residents and sustained the town's economy for generations.
