Introduction

The Flagler Museum, also called Whitehall, is a 75-room Gilded Age mansion that oil baron Henry Flagler built for his wife in 1902. Architects Carrère and Hastings designed it in neoclassical style, once hailed as 'the most wonderful wedding gift in America.' Today the museum revives that opulence through gilded ballrooms, music and library rooms, while the upper floor recounts Flagler's creation of the Florida East Coast Railway. A stroll here captures both Gatsby-esque splendor and the vision of the 'Father of Florida,' who wired the coastline together with rails.
