FLAGLER MUSEUM PALM BEACH, FLORIDA

President’s Letter May 2007 Dear Members and Contributors: Two thousand and six was yet another year of remarkable accomplishments at the Museum. I hope you will share my pleasure in the Museum’s many accomplishments during the past year as you read this Annual Report.

The Museum continued to produce excellent programs in 2006, including: two original exhibits, Tiffany at the World’s Columbian Exposition and The Blue God and the Silver King: The Origins of Sportfishing on Florida’s Southeast Coast, the Whitehall Lecture Series focusing on Heroes and Villains of the Gilded Age, and the critically acclaimed Flagler Museum Music Series. In addition to these wellregarded programs, I hope 2006 will be remembered as the year the Museum added many new and innovative programs, like the Newspapers in Education Tabloid - Flagler’s Florida, the Bluegrass Concert to benefit the Southern Arts Federation, the Easter Egg Hunt, and the Palm Beach County History Day Student Project Competition, to name just a few.

This past year the Museum was honored to host a number of prestigious meetings, such as the planning retreat for the Board of the Preservation Society of Newport County, Rhode Island, a tour and dinner for the Association of Art Museum Directors, the Palm Beach Civic Association’s Annual Meeting where the Palm Beach Mayor delivered his State-of-the-Town Address, Palm Beach County Historical Society’s Annual Meeting, and a tour and tea for the Concierge Association of Florida - and to be the recipient of the 2006 Judge Knott Award. As a Trustee of the Museum for more than a quarter century, Judge Knott will always occupy a special place in the Museum’s history.

On behalf of my fellow Trustees, the Museum staff, and myself, thank you for your support during the past year. It has been essential to making the many impressive accomplishments of 2006 possible.

Sincerely,

George G. Matthews, President Henry Morrison Flagler Museum

Executive Director’s Report Beginning in 1995, the Flagler Museum embarked on a massive restoration and facilities improvements campaign that lasted for a decade. With new state-of-the-art climate control and security systems in place, Whitehall’s historic interiors impeccably restored, and the new Flagler Kenan Pavilion, by 2005 the Museum was ready to turn its full attention to program development for 2006.

The result was the most ambitious series of programs the Museum has produced in its 46-year history.

With the number of new programs introduced in 2006 it became clear that a comprehensive Season Program Guide was needed to communicate not only the schedule of the various long-standing programs throughout the Season, but also to describe the new programs as well, and to recognize the many sponsors that make the Museum’s programs possible.

Exhibits Both the winter and fall exhibits this year were curated by the Flagler Museum staff. Each was unusual, imaginative and completely original. The year began with Tiffany at the World’s Columbian Exposition, an exhibit of some of the very best American silver work ever produced, but not seen as a group since 1893. The Flagler Museum was able to track down and reassemble many of the fantastic silver objects made by Tiffany & Co. for the greatest world’s fair of all time, the World’s Columbian Exposition. And, in conjunction with the exhibit, the Museum published the catalogue raisone, and only reference work, on the subject. The New York Times described the exhibit as, “Against all odds, John M. Blades, the director of the Flagler, has reassembled about 20 percent of the major pieces in Tiffany’s original 1893 silver display.”

The year ended with The Blue God and the Silver King, an exhibit that explored the origins of the mega sportfishing industry in South Florida using the early and rare photographs, equipment, guides, and artwork to illustrate the extreme nature of sportfishing in south Florida during the late 19th and very early 20th centuries. The Blue God and the Silver King was picked by the Palm Beach Daily News as one of the “Season’s” highlights.

Programs and Member Events Since they were introduced in 1997, Holiday Evening Tours at the Museum have remained popular. Based on continuing research using historic photographs and contemporary accounts, the Museum staff continued to make Whitehall’s Christmas decorations more authentic. Palm fronds and Spanish Moss were added to the garlands along the Grand Staircase and Spanish Moss and boxes of Animal Crackers were added to the tree decorations in the Grand Hall. Few people today know that Animal Crackers were introduced the year Whitehall was completed, 1902, or that the box was fitted with a string so that boxes of Animal Crackers could be used as Christmas Tree decorations, or that palm fronds and Spanish Moss were commonly used in Christmas decorations in Florida during the Gilded Age. Reviving the Christmas traditions of the time period when Whitehall was built serves not only to educate visitors about the Gilded Age, but makes the experience of visiting Whitehall during the Christmas Holidays unique, interesting, and fun.

Music and Lecture Series “The Flagler Museum... with close-up intimacy, admirable clarity and a nice ambient bloom... may well be the best space for chamber music in South Florida.” South Florida Sun-Sentinel In its Seventh season the Flagler Museum Music Series again wowed audiences and reviewers responded with, “Nokuthula Ngwenyama’s recital in January at the Flagler Museum was another all-around high point of this season” - Palm Beach Post, “The Haydn piece is compelling and holds an audience’s attention when played with the combination of brilliance and intensity the Colorado String Quartet brought to this performance” - Palm Beach Daily News, “Those who made it to Thomas Gallant’s performance were rewarded with one of the best concerts Palm Beach County will see this year” - Palm Beach Daily News, “Few Venues in South Florida offer a more civilized environment for chamber music than the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach. The Gryphon Trio’s concert Tuesday night made a fine match of musical excellence in an intimate space.” - Sun Sentinel, and “The Borealis Wind quintet presented a program that was delightful and surprisingly effective.

The quintet played it particularly well, with great lightness and lift.” - Palm Beach Daily News.

Likewise, the 21st annual Whitehall Lecture Series continued to intrigue audiences while furthering our understanding and appreciation of the Gilded Age through lectures presented around the theme of “Heroes and Villains of the Gilded Age,” including lectures on Jack the Ripper, Andrew Carnegie, Christopher Columbus, Buffalo Bill, Thomas Edison, and George Washington.

Bluegrass Concert The rising popularity of Bluegrass music and the unique venue of the Flagler Kenan Pavilion somehow seem made for each other, and the audience seemed to agree when two of the best Bluegrass bands, the Krüger Brothers and the Mark Newton Band played to a full house. The Museum will host an annual Bluegrass Concert to raise funds for the Southern Federation of the Arts as a way of assisting in the recovery of artists and arts organizations devastated by hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.

Museum Café In 2006 the Museum’s Café moved to the new Flagler Kenan Pavilion to further enhance the Café experience by taking advantage of the Pavilion’s unique environment and its outstanding views across Lake Worth. As a result, the Café enjoyed an outstanding season.

Café business went up 41% and over all satisfaction increased from 93% to 97% over the previous season.

5

Education Programs A new initiative was launched in 2006 that by 2008 will project the Museum’s mission of education about America’s Gilded Age and Henry Flagler’s impact in Florida out to about 500,000 fourth and fifth grade students throughout the state of Florida. Working with the Palm Beach Post and the Palm Beach County School District, the Museum’s Education Department produced a 32page Newspapers in Education Tabloid (NIE Tab for short), titled Flagler’s Florida that was distributed to all fourth and fifth graders in Palm Beach County. When the Flagler’s Florida is distributed statewide in 2008, it will be the most widely distributed NIE Tab ever produced.

The distribution of the new NIE Tab is made possible by funds raised through a new Museum support group formed in 2006. The Whitehall Society seeks to develop a new generation of Museum Members who share an interest in history and preservation, through activities, programs, and fund-raisers. The Whitehall Society’s annual fund-raiser Dancing After Dark was launched in 2006.

Dancing After Dark immediately drew substantial sponsorship support and a significant following making it an instant success.

Reviving a tradition from the Gilded Age, the Whitehall Society also launched an annual Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Egg Roll on the Museum’s South Lawn, and it too was an immediate success. And, in November the Whitehall Society partnered with Hollywould and designer Holly Dunlap for Cocktails Under the Stars a reception at the Museum celebrating the opening of a new Season in Palm Beach.

Throughout its 46-year history, the Museum has worked with the Palm Beach County School District in a variety of ways. Each year thousands fourth and fifth grade students visit the Museum as part of their education about Florida history. For the past 20 years the Museum Mentor Program has paired Docent Mentors with students to develop their creative writing skills. In 2006 the Museum further expanded its partnership with the School District to serve students by beginning an annual tradition of hosting the Palm Beach County History Day Student Project Competition in the Flagler Kenan Pavilion.

Carnegie Hero Lecture Many of our Nation’s most cherished traditions and institutions were established during America’s Gilded Age. Founded in 1904, the Carnegie Hero Fund was established to recognize and support heroes among us. “We live in a heroic age,” Andrew Carnegie wrote in the founding documents for the Hero Fund, “not seldom are we thrilled by deeds of heroism where men or women are injured or lose their lives in attempting to preserve or rescue their fellows.”

Each year a special few individuals are awarded the Carnegie Hero Medal. Over the years many medal winners have been from Florida. In 2006 an annual Carnegie Hero Lecture was added to the Museum’s programs as a way of reminding us all of the heroes among us and the great traditions of the Gilded Age. Joseph Anthony Alaimo helped to save Abigail P. Slade from drowning off of Palm Beach on March 21, 2004. Abigail, 10, and her cousin were swimming in the Atlantic Ocean when they were caught by a strong current which pulled them far from shore. On the beach, Alaimo, 24, saw them struggling and swam to the rescue. The girls’ uncle and several other men also went into the water to help rescue the girls. The uncle reached the victims first and was overcome by exhaustion while towing them to shore.The uncle lost consciousness and he did not survive. Alaimo pulled Abigail a great distance, and before succumbing to exhaustion pushed Abigail safely to shore. Abigail was rescued from the surf and Alaimo was taken to the hospital where he was held six days in treatment for near drowning, from which he fully recovered.

Abigail and her cousin were also were taken to the hospital, and they too recovered.

Founders Day The Museum’s annual celebration of the anniversary of its founding on June 5th, and its founder, Jean Flagler Matthews drew more than 2,000 visitors who patiently waited to tour the grounds, Whitehall, and Railcar No. 91.

Fourth of July With the completion of the Flagler Kenan Pavilion Museum Members have an even better view of the Fourth of July fireworks over Lake Worth from the Museum grounds, making this annual tradition at the Museum even more memorable.

Website Redesign The Flagler Museum was the first major cultural institution to post a web site in Palm Beach County and over the years, with the increasing popularity of the Internet, the Museum has expanded the information available through its web site. In 2006 the Museum’s web site was completely redesigned to make even more information available and the web site easier to navigate. In addition, the on-line store for the Museum was redesigned and more of the products not found anywhere but the Flagler Museum Store have been added.

Conservation and Restoration

Each year for the past four years, the Museum has worked with a conservator to restore and rewire Whitehall’s many sconces and chandeliers. These elaborate light fixtures were produced by Caldwell and Company of New York, the pre-eminent American designer of light fixtures. In 2006 the chandeliers that light the alcoves of the Grand Hall were restored and rewired.

Over the past century, the floor of what is now the Changing Exhibit Gallery, located on the second floor above the Grand Ballroom, became deflected resulting in a difference in level from the middle of the floor to the outer walls of as much as four inches. During the summer a level sub-floor was installed and a new broad-planked Oak floor installed over that. In addition, all of the baseboard and door surrounds were removed and reinstalled to making them level and plumb. The result is that the Gallery floor is stronger and better suited for the exhibition of sculpture and other kinds of three-dimensional objects.

8

Collections and Acquisitions Over the years the Flagler Museum has been fortunate to acquire significant objects and materials relevant to Henry Flagler and Whitehall and in many cases repatriate objects original to Whitehall.

In 2006, a painting original to Flagler’s collection, Martin Johnson Heade’s Great Florida Marsh, was put on long-term loan to the Museum and now hangs in Whitehall’s Library.

When, after more than a decade of work when the Over-Sea Railroad was nearly complete, in 1912 thousands of Florida East Coast Railway workers contributed to have Tiffany & Co. produce a beautiful vermeil presentation box to house an 18kt gold telegram of congratulations from the workers to Henry Flagler.

Unfortunately, that important historical artifact was stolen from the Museum early in the Museum’s history and the only remaining documentation of the box and telegram was a single vintage photograph in the Museum’s archives. Working over more than five years, using digitally enhanced copies of the historic photograph, the Museum and Tiffany & Co. recreated the design for the box and then fabricated a replica that was completed in 2006. While elaborate silver and gold commemorative pieces were produced relatively often during the Gilded Age, there are very few craftsmen in the 21st Century capable of producing commemorative pieces of the quality of the Gold Telegram Box, making the restoration of this important historical artifact to the Museum all the more impressive and important.

Other objects added to the Museum’s collections in 2006 were: a silver Bon Bon spoon and a Wine Taster made by Tiffany & Co. for the World’s Columbian Exposition, a variety of flatware produced

by Greenleaf & Crosby during the Gilded Age, rare books from the time period, and an evening fan made of black Ostrich feathers with a tortoise shell handle, purchased in Paris in the very early 20th Century by the wife of an American Cultural Attaché.

Leadership and Recognition Each year the Flagler Museum hosts numerous prestigious groups.

In January the Museum hosted two events: the Board of Directors of the Preservation Society of Newport County, Rhode Island, for their annual planning retreat and, as has been the tradition for years, a public meeting with the Legislative Delegation of Palm Beach County. In February about 150 members of the Association of Art Museum Directors visited the Museum. In April the Museum hosted events: the Palm Beach Civic Association’s Annual meeting and the Palm Beach Mayor’s State-of-the-Town Address and the Annual meeting of the Palm Beach County Historical Society.

And, in September the Concierge Association of Florida met at the Museum.

The Museum was honored to receive the Judge Knott Award in 2006 “in recognition of the institution’s decades of contributions to preserving, promoting and sharing the rich, diverse history of Palm Beach County. The Flagler Museum is the quintessential icon of Palm Beach’s Gilded Age grandeur. It offers a glimpse into the life of famed railroad and oil magnate Henry Flagler, who was responsible for transforming Palm Beach into the thriving resort community present today.” The award is particularly meaningful to the Trustees and staff of the Museum because in addition to playing a key role for decades in the Palm Beach County Historical Society, Judge James Knott was a Trustee of the Flagler Museum throughout most of its history, from 1973 until his death in1999.

Whitehall may be the site most connected with Henry Flagler in most people’s minds, but as the “inventor” of modern Florida, Henry Flagler’s legacy is everywhere. In recognition of Flagler’s essential role in the development of Miami, on July 28th, the 110th anniversary of the incorporation of the city of Miami, the Flagler Museum dedicated a replica of the statue of Henry Flagler commissioned during his lifetime by his wife, Mary Lily Kenan Flagler. The statue of Flagler was gift to Miami from Colonel G. F. Robert Hanke, a great grandson of Henry Flagler and the Vice President of the Flagler Museum. The statue’s location on the MiamiDade County Courthouse steps on Flagler Street in downtown Miami, is particularly significant as the land for the Courthouse was given to Miami by Henry Flagler.

10

As its reputation grows, the Flagler Museum attracts more media attention, receiving more national, and international media attention than any other Florida Museum. In 2006, the Flagler Museum was featured in the following publications and programs: Art & Culture of Palm Beach County Art & Entertainment Network Florida Keys Keynoter Florida Sportfishing Magazine Group Tour Magazine History Channel Industry Magazine Keys News Miami Today Outdoor Florida Palm Beach Society Palm Beach Young Society Quest Magazine Silver Magazine South Florida Sun-Sentinel The International Herald Tribune The Knoxville News Sentinel The New York Times The Palm Beach Daily News The Palm Beach Post Wellington Magazine WPBT Channel 2’s “Art 360” WPBT Channel 2’s “State of the Arts” Clearly, 2006 was another banner year for the Museum, made possible through the support of the hundreds of Members, Contributors, Sponsors, and Grantors recognized in this Annual Report. On behalf of the Flagler Museum staff, thank you all for your continued support.

John Blades, Executive Director Henry Morison Flagler Museum

The interpretations are free from exaggeration. The players are sensitive to one another, especially the violinist and cellist, who were in close visual contact much of the time.
