Christmas Tree in the Drawing Room Flagler Museum Palm Beach, Florida November 13, 2019 |
It was nice to tour the museum again after seeing it only a few months earlier. I was able to go deeper into some of the exhibits and gain a better appreciation for Henry Flagler and how he created modern Florida in his vision. The key was building a railroad to connect the villages of St Augustine, Palm Beach, and Miami. He then built the Overseas Railroad to connect Key West to the mainland. It was an extension of the Florida East Coast Railway.
As it rained during most of the day which precluded going to the beach, visiting the museum was a great way to spend time and gain a better appreciation of history as well.
I recommend visiting the Flagler Museum. It is a must do when in the West Palm Beach/Palm Beach area.
