The mission of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum is to restore and preserve the historic mansion Whitehall and its collections, and to research and interpret materials related to the life of Henry Flagler as important and unique elements of Florida’s history and America’s Gilded Age (1865-1932). Whitehall was the winter home of Flagler, one of the most influential figures in Gilded Age history.

Rich and layered classroom learning tools are included on the Museum’s website at www.flaglermuseum.us. Educational resources focus on Henry Flagler, the development of Florida and Gilded Age history. They include a narrated virtual tour of Whitehall, available in English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese, which can be incorporated into classroom curriculum.

The Flagler Museum provides free admission for school field trips, or summer camps, for students from fourth to eighth grade. The tours offered are part of the Museum’s education program; they are available for booking throughout the school year as well as during the summer. Tour themes and topics go hand in hand with the curriculum and subjects normally covered through their studies. Topics discussed through the tours touch upon the S.T.E.M. or S.T.E.A.M umbrella of subjects as well. More information on future programs will be posted to the Museum’s website.

The Museum Education Program at FAU’s University Galleries serves a variety of community audiences with an emphasis on family-accessible programing. Each year, the UG produces Field Experience Guides for teachers that showcase the major exhibitions’ educational potential and invites educators to collaborate with the staff to create custom-tailored lesson plans that meet their curriculum needs. The MEP serves area elementary, middle and high schools by providing classroom outreach programs, workshops at the university or at your location, and interactive exhibition tours at the University Galleries. Field experiences to the Galleries can also include tours of FAU’s Visual Arts studios, Fogelman Sports Museum and FAU Libraries’ Jaffe Center for Book Arts. Tours and outreaches are team-presented by FAU students who have participated in training programs unique to each exhibition. All programs are free and open to the public. Tours can be self-guided during our open hours, or docent-led by appointment.
