It wasn't until the late 1800s that today's Palm Beach began to take shape under the direction of Henry Morrison Flagler, one of the founders of the Standard Oil Corporation. Not only did he make Palm Beach accessible through his Florida East Coast Railway, he left an indelible mark through Whitehall, the stately mansion built as a wedding gift for third wife Mary Lily Kenan. Completed in 1902, it still stands today as the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum . The museum, which throws open Flagler's ballroom as well as private bedrooms for public view, transports visitors back to that time when possibilities seemed endless.
