🍁 Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

Today, we pause to reflect with gratitude on the people, stories, and traditions that have brought our community together for generations. The images featured here, pulled from our archives, show past moments of gathering, celebration, and shared meals throughout Palm Beach County. These snapshots remind us that coming together around the table has always been part of our local story.

The Historical Society is closed until Monday in observance of the holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back then.

We are grateful for our members, visitors, supporters, and friends who help us preserve and celebrate the rich history of this remarkable place.

Each photograph you see holds a story waiting to be told. If a particular scene or group catches your eye, drop a comment below. Our archivist would be delighted to share more about the people and places behind these moments.

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight: Suzanne Busch 🌟 HSPBC Docen

🌟 Volunteer Spotlight: Suzanne Busch 🌟
HSPBC Docent since 2019

Meet Suzanne, a former research librarian who spent more than 30 years in Palm Beach County before realizing she had never truly explored the history of the place she called home. When she wandered into a docent training session just to see what they were doing, she instantly fell in love with the museum, its mission, and the joy of meeting people who love history as much as she does.

Originally from New York and raised in a Navy family, Suzanne lived in many places before earning her master’s degree in Library Science in Texas. She worked as a librarian here in Palm Beach County, and in retirement she gives her time to multiple nonprofits. When she is not leading tours, you will often find her helping in the Museum Store or sharing stories through our Speakers Bureau.

Her favorite part of volunteering:
"Meeting people and talking with them about the history of this area, and the history they bring with them. It is so important not to lose those stories. If you love learning new things and sharing them with others in a fun and welcoming way, this is the place to be."

Suzanne treasures moments like heartfelt hugs from children and conversations with visitors from around the world. Her enthusiasm reflects everything we strive for: gathering, preserving, and sharing the rich history of Palm Beach County.

✨ Want to join Suzanne and become part of our volunteer family?
We would love to have you. Reach out and discover how rewarding it can be to share history with your community!

🎥 Hear the History of Florida, Brought to Life on Screen!

Join us for our next History Talks as we welcome the extraordinary Frank Eberling on Wednesday, December 3 at 5:30pm.

For more than 125 years, Florida’s landscapes, legends, and larger-than-life characters have inspired authors and filmmakers. In the early 1900s, the Sunshine State was a bustling filmmaking capital, producing hundreds of silent films.

No one knows that story better than Frank Eberling.
With more than 3,500 film and television programs to his name, Frank has worked as a writer, producer, director, and cinematographer. He has taught college for twenty-six years, spent ten years teaching with Burt Reynolds at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film and Theatre, and earned top honors including a CINE/Golden Eagle, an EMMY®, and the first Florida Governor’s Screenwriting Competition.

✨ If you love film, Florida history, or simply a great story told by a master, this is the talk for you.
📍 Location: Courtroom, 3rd Floor of the Historic 1916 Palm Beach County Courthouse
300 North Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach
🅿️ Free parking available at 5:00 pm in the 4th Street lot.

🎬 Come be inspired by the stories that shaped Florida and the filmmaker who helped bring them to life. 🌴
