Flagler Museum: Gold Telegram

The telegram was presented to Henry Flagler when he completed the Key West railroad in 1912. Also: walk through Flagler's fancy private railroad car, the first one to make the trip. Flagler died, like Elvis, in his home bathroom.

Flagler Museum: Solid Gold Telegram

No telegram, but we toured the outside of Flagler's Palm Beach home (Whitehall), the Music Room, and Flagler's No. 91 rail car with inside living quarters.

[Jody High, 01/27/2021]

The telegram -- one of the museum's most famous artifacts -- is usually on display in the second-floor Flagler-Kenan History Room
