Roses are red. Violets are blue. If your Valentine

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
If your Valentine flakes… we’ve got you. 💘📸

This year, the Historical Society of Palm Beach County is stepping in as your most reliable Valentine.

We have charm.
We have character.
We have thousands of historic faces giving serious side eye in sepia.

We’re turning some of our favorite images from the archives into Valentines that are slightly cheeky, entirely appropriate, and completely timeless. Because while candy disappears and flowers wilt, well preserved photographs last forever.

Every image you see is part of a collection carefully protected, cataloged, and preserved so future generations can fall in love with Palm Beach County’s history too. And keeping history this good looking takes a little love.

Feeling sentimental? Show some love to the archives that never ghost you. 💌

❤️ Help preserve our historic photographs and collections:

Honoring Black History Month In recognition of Bl

Honoring Black History Month

In recognition of Black History Month, we celebrate Alice Frederick Mickens, who dedicated her life to education and to preserving Black history in West Palm Beach.

Mickens worked alongside civic and educational leaders, including Oswald Bronson, former president of Bethune-Cookman University, where she was an alumna and longtime trustee. Her commitment to safeguarding local Black history helped ensure that the stories and contributions of the Black community in Palm Beach County would not be forgotten.

The Mickens House, built in 1917 and located at 801 Fourth Street in West Palm Beach, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands today as a lasting testament to her leadership, vision, and enduring impact.

Honoring Black History Month In recognition of B

Honoring Black History Month

In recognition of Black History Month, we highlight Thomas Peppers, one of the earliest African Americans to settle along Lake Worth in the 1880s.

Thomas Peppers helped build the Florida East Coast Railway and worked as a laborer. In the early 1900s, he operated a wheelchair service, an important form of transportation for visiting tourists. He also collected monthly land rents in the Styx, one of Palm Beach County’s early Black communities. Alongside his wife, he raised four daughters and built a life rooted in resilience, service, and community.

Stories like his remind us that Palm Beach County’s history was shaped by the lasting contributions of Black pioneers whose legacies continue to inspire.
