It's always great to see how the other 2% lived. We ran through this house museum on our own self-guided tour w/ a preschooler and toddler in tow. The music room and ballroom were most impressive to the preschooler. We liked the color coordinated bedrooms. If you don't know much about the founding of Florida as the tourism destination in...

A remarkable home for the bride of a remarkable man. Despite its opulence, it has a comfortable feel. We'd recommend either the audio tour or the guided tour. The pamphlet doesn't give you enough details. There is an elevator to the second floor for wheelchair access. I was particularly interested in the lace collection and it didn't disappoint.

I went to this museum (in fact this is a large mansion). It is very beautiful and well maintained with many beautiful rooms. It tells a lot about the development of the area. Worth it.

My husband and I love historical places and have visited a few in the UK (my home), so when we saw White Hall advertised on WLRN and saw that they also had an English Tea House, we were so pleased and decided to go the very next day, Sunday and spend the whole afternoon there. The museum was beautiful very... More

My partner and I knew a lot about the Flagler Rail Road and his influence on the Florida Keys but we had never visited the Flager Museum. This was his winter home which he built as a wedding gift for one of his wives. There is so much to see, it will take a full day or a return trip.... More

It is amazing to think that people at the turn of the century lived in such a palace. It is an interesting bit of history relating to the settling of the state of Florida by a very wealthy and entrepreneurial man. He certainly found lemons and made lemonade! The museum is a pleasant spot to take this all in.

Drenched in wealth, luxury, and history. Worthwhile if you like to see how the rich lived. The Gilded Age estate is a gem and the tour guides a wealth of informaiton. I would go again.
