The Flagler Museum, formally known as Whitehall, is a grand estate that features more than 100,000 square feet filled with some of the most important history of Palm Beach Island and the Gilded Age. The grand estate is one of the many famous landmarks and homes located on Palm Beach. 

The home was commissioned by Henry M Flagler, an American Industrialist and founder of Standard Oil, for his wife Mary as a wedding gift.

Flagler asked John Carrere and Thomas Hastings to design and build the grand estate. Carrere and Hastings were famous architects during the Gilded Age and were also the architects for other famous landmarks in New York City such as The New York Public Library and The Waldorf Astoria Hotel. 

The elegant estate features white marble columns and a red barrel roof overlooking the Intracoastal waterway and downtown West Palm Beach. The estate features a full basement, central courtyard, two full stories plus an attic, the original fence built in 1901, ten antique clocks, and more than 75 rooms. 

Visitors that visit the home can enjoy the first and second floor, the grounds, Flagler’s original rail car No.91, the Flagler Kenan Pavilion, The Museum Shop, the Exhibition Gallery, and much more. Tickets are available to tour the beautiful grand estate. Tickets can be purchased online here. 

The Flagler Museum is located at One Whitehall Way, Palm Beach.
