Welcome to the Flagler Museum
WHEN IT WAS COMPLETED IN 1902, THE NEW YORK HERALD PROCLAIMED THAT WHITEHALL,
Henry Flagler's Gilded Age estate in Palm Beach, was "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, offering self-guided tours, changing exhibitions, and special programs.
The mission of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum is to preserve and interpret Whitehall, Henry Flagler's legacy, and America's Gilded Age, in ways that inspire every generation.
