Postcard
These six postcards capture Stuart's civic pride and growth in the early 20th century, showcasing landmarks from the courthouse to the elegant Pelican Hotel that drew visitors to our young town.
Postcards like these were how people across America shared glimpses of distant places with friends and family, a window into what made Stuart special during its formative years as a railway and tourism destination. From the Lyric Theater to Sheriff Christensen's residence, they offer a snapshot of the community that residents wanted the world to see.
