The Elliot Museum in Stuart, Florida has a small permanent exhibit honoring Frances Langford. Some of her personal items on display related to the Outrigger: :up: This really puts the "peacock" in peacock chair! :up: Oceanic Arts shield on the right. :up: Caption reads: "Frances Langford and Ralph Evinrude surveying their property with Ed Lawrence, designer of the Outrigger Restaurant. Circa 1961." :up: Love that space age tram! The Elliot museum is in the process of moving out of their current building and a new one, twice the size, will be built in its place. Among the announced highlights of the new museum: "The Frances Langford Outrigger Cafe, an ocean view dining venue featuring exhibits of Langford memorabilia." Looking forward to seeing how that progresses. It is a museum after all, so don't expect Mai-Tais and Zombies or mid-century Polynesian styled architecture. But all the same, it's good news.
