 …Special Speakers Series recently presented The Three Mrs. Flaglers, who were the three wives of Henry Flagler, the Industrialist who developed Florida.  His story is quite fascinating and it has been said that no other individual has had a greater or more lasting impact on a State than he has had on Florida through the building […]
