The Grand Ballroom: 1902 vs. 2026

This room was designed in the Louis XV style, a reference to the high style and elaborate social life of 18th-century France. The use of large mirrors and gold leaf were intended to reflect light, producing a dazzling environment for social gatherings ✨

There’s always time for tea...🫖

Afternoon tea was a cherished social ritual during the Gilded Age. Mary Lily and Henry Flagler often joined their friends and guests among the palms of the Cocoanut Grove for tea and conversation.

Henry Flagler recalled this afternoon in a letter to Mina Bissell, dated August 17, 1910, saying, “Thousands of times I have recalled the happy days of that winter when you were with us at Palm Beach, and I am wondering whether you have yet, the photograph of the Five o’clock Tea in the sun bonnets.”

Taking a closer look at “The Cardinals” by Paul Schaan 🎨

Our founder, Jean Flagler Matthews, purchased this painting from Trosby’s, a prominent estate auction house and art gallery operating in Palm Beach, Florida, and Atlantic City, New Jersey from the 1950s through the 1980s. She bought it the same year she acquired the Whitehall Hotel and established the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Inc., on June 5th, 1959, as a nonprofit corporation. 

Find it on view today in the Music Room ✨

Our bags are packed for a trip down memory lane this Monday 🧳

Before Henry Flagler’s marble-pillared estate opened as a museum in 1960, it operated as the Whitehall Hotel with the opening of an attached 300-room addition.
The hotel’s ten-story tower no longer exists, but its legacy lives on through artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia preserved in the Museum’s archives.
