Comments/Directions:
Henry Flagler's FEC Railway and the luxury hotels he built along the way, linked the entire east coast of Florida, establishing agriculture and tourism as Florida's leading industries and Palm Beach as a world-renowned winter resort. When it was completed in 1902, Whitehall, Flagler's Gilded Age estate in Palm Beach, was hailed by the New York Herald as "more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world." Today, Whitehall is open to the public as the Flagler Museum and features guided tours, Flagler's private railcar, changing exhibits, and special programs.
