Special Holiday Lecture at the Flagler Museum

The origins of many beloved American Christmas traditions can be traced back to the Gilded Age. This year’s Christmas at Whitehall program will feature a lecture by Patrick Sauer, history correspondent for Smithsonian Magazine, about O. Henry’s story, The Gift of the Magi, first published in 1905. The story with a timeless, ironic twist, a common feature of O. Henry’s work, reminds readers of the true meaning of Christmas.
