✨ Thank you, Florida Weekly and Kelly Henry! ✨

We are grateful to be featured in this week’s issue for the Sunshine Cinema: Florida in Film Grand Opening Reception. It was a night that brought together filmmakers, history lovers, and community partners to celebrate more than a century of Florida’s movie magic. 🎬🌴

The evening was beautifully captured by Gail Haines. Thank you for preserving these special moments. 📸

If you couldn’t join us, the exhibition is now open at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum. Step inside the stories, stars, and behind-the-scenes magic that shaped Florida’s film legacy. The exhibition runs through May 30, 2026 and we invite you to experience it in person. 🎥✨

👉 Huge thanks to our sponsors for making this possible.

We couldn’t do it without your generosity and support. Please take a moment to show your appreciation.

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 Today, we pause to reflect

🍁 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.
