Flagler 50: Exhibition Marks 50th Anniversary of Flagler College

An exhibition "Flagler 50: Celebrating a College and a Preservation Legacy, 1968-2018” will open July 6, 2018 as part of the upcoming repertoire of 50th-anniversary celebrations at Flagler College.  The exhibit will be available through May 30, 2019,

The opening of the exhibition was purposefully scheduled to coincide with the 100th birthday of college founder, Lawrence Lewis, Jr., the grandnephew of Henry Flagler.  Lewis was instrumental in fostering the restoration of many buildings in St. Augustine, not just the Hotel Ponce de Leon, that is now used by Flagler College.

You can visit the Flagler College website for a list of anniversary events.
