Native American Folklore
When a historical event is described in great factual detail, many eyes glaze over. But when the storyteller says, “They say that sometimes, in the dark of night…” everyone perks up! This is folklore.
Come join local author Patrick S. Mesmer for a presentation on the belief systems of the earliest residents of Martin County. Sponsored by the Friends of the Martin County Library System, Inc. Free & open to all.

2023 Fall Exhibition
Bicycles: Technology That Changed the World
October 17 – December 17, 2023
Included with Museum Admission
The Flagler Museum’s Fall Exhibition, Bicycles: Technology that Changed the World, highlights the development and evolution of the bicycle and the profound impact bicycles had on American society and culture. Bicycles emerged during the Gilded Age as a revolutionary means of transportation and leisure, allowing individuals to move freely and easily, without the burden and expenses associated with acquiring and maintaining horse and carriage.
At its peak, in a single year, the bicycle revolution in the United States resulted in nearly three hundred companies producing more than a million bicycles, making it one of the Nation’s largest industries. From the earliest prototypes of the 1860s to the sophisticated designs of the 1890s, the fall exhibition offers an unparalleled opportunity to see many rare examples of early bicycles and to understand their tremendous impact on American society and culture during the Gilded Age.
