The Elliott Guest House has a rich and colorful history in Livingston.

The home was built in 1916 by Ed and Sarah Schultz. Ed, a German emigrant, arrived in Livingston in the late 1800's to work for the Northern Pacific railroad. His wife, Sarah Millard, a London, England emigrant, came to Livingston as a pioneer mid-wife. She operated the home as a boarding house, and later as a guest house for expectant country wives who were cared for and pampered before they returned to their ranching duties.

In 1948, Sarah Schultz's daughter, Gertrude, together with her husband Charles D. Elliott, moved to the home following 30 years of ranching on the Mission Creek Ranch. The home is named for Charles D. Elliott, described by Livingston newspapers as a "grand man." He arrived in Montana in 1902 and worked in Yellowstone National Park as an engineer and craftsman. He was known for his fine craftsmanship and building work, having helped design and build several Yellowstone National Park structures and having crafted the lettering for the Roosevelt Arch, entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

The Elliott Guest House is now owned and operated by Charles Elliott's great-granddaughter, Kara Stermitz.
