Description

When it was completed in 1902, Whitehall, Henry Flagler's Gilded Age estate in Palm Beach, was hailed by the New York Herald as "more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world." Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Flagler Museum, featuring guided tours, changing exhibits, and special programs. Start here to learn about the Gilded Age, the most fascinating period in American history. Start here to learn about early Florida, when Henry Flagler's railroads and luxury hotels transformed Florida and established tourism and agriculture as the foundations of the Florida Economy. Start here and enjoy one of America's most beautiful homes and Florida's first Museum. The Museum features two changing exhibits a year. The Fall exhibit typically runs from September through December. The Winter exhibit, from January through April.
