CATCH SOME HISTORY HERE


FLAGLER MUSEUM’S WHITEHALL LECTURE SERIES – PRESIDENTS OF THE GILDED AGE

Presidents to be discussed include Grant, McKinley, Garfield, Cleveland and Hayes. Here is an opportunity to listen to the lectures, watch the presentations and ask the lecturer questions. Authors of books about these men will be present and a book signing with the author will follow each lecture.

It can also be seen online. For first time users of the Flagler Museum's on-line room, you need to install a small, safe plug-in. When prompted please provide your first name and leave the password field blank. At the welcome page, click on the "Download Here" link. This will open a "File Download" dialogue box. Within that box, click on the "Run" button. Please be sure to configure your firewall to allow the Talking Communities software access to your computer and please disable your screen saver. No charge for online attendance.

Flagler Museum Members at Sustaining and higher levels can attend for free. Individual, Family and Life Members cost $10/each. Non-members costs $28 per lecture of $125 for a Series ticket and includes Museum Admission. More information here. The Museum is located at 1 Whitehall Way in Palm Beach. Call 561-655-2833 for further information.

You just might hear some similarities to our times right now. The more things change the more they remain the same?
