Henry Morrison Flagler Museum

The Henry Morrison Flagler Museum at One Whitehall Way in Palm Beach is one of Florida's most extraordinary historic sites, housed in Whitehall — the opulent Beaux-Arts mansion built by railroad magnate and Florida founder Henry Flagler for his wife in 1902. Designated a National Historic Landmark, the museum preserves the original gilded interiors, furnishings, and personal collections of the man who essentially invented modern Florida through his railroad and resort empire. A visit to the Flagler Museum is an essential Palm Beach experience. The mansion's grandeur, combined with thoughtful exhibits about Flagler's transformative impact on South Florida, makes this one of the most compelling museum visits in the entire state.
