Promising fun activities, tasty treats and music the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum will host its inaugural Fall at Whitehall event Oct. 18.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Flagler Kenan Pavilion, families can join a variety of activities planned for the day or tour the Gilded Age era Mansion commissioned by the Standard Oil co-founder, according to a Flagle Museum release.
“This festival is a unique opportunity for families to experience the Museum in a whole new way — through the lens of tradition, community, and seasonal celebration,” said Jenna Hoogstra, director of education at the Flagler Museum, in a statement. “We are thrilled to welcome families to make new memories while connecting and celebrating the history of the Gilded Age.”
Those celebrations include Gilded Age-inspired outdoor and indoor like ring toss, corn hole, croquet and lawn bowling.
Those not wanting to break a sweat can enjoy a list of arts of crafts activities including painting fall wreaths and making stain glass apples.
At 11 a.m., Palm Beach Day Academy’s young choir will take the Pavilion floor for a performance.
Hungry guests can peruse through a selection of autumn-inspired treats.
Fall at Whitehall is the first event in the Museum’s new Flagler Museum Family Days series; a programming of family-friendly events geared to younger audiences with interactive activities. On Dec. 13, the series continues with All Aboard Whitehall, and on March 14 with the craft-centric Whitehall in Bloom event.
Admission to Fall at Whitehall is included with purchase of a museum ticket and free for museum members. Pre-registration is required and space is limited. Guests can register early at www.flaglermuseum.us/program/fall-at-whitehall.
