Henry M. Flagler Metal Tree Decoration
Henry Flagler, a key figure in the development of Florida in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, played a pivotal role in transforming the state into a popular tourist destination. Born in 1830, Flagler initially made a fortune as one of the co-founders of Standard Oil alongside John D. Rockefeller. However, it was his vision for Florida's potential that set him on a path of significant impact. In the late 19th century, he began investing heavily in Florida's infrastructure, particularly in transportation and hotels. Flagler's most ambitious project was the construction of the Florida East Coast Railway, which extended down the east coast of the state. This railway facilitated easier access to Florida's tropical landscapes and set the stage for its later development as a tourism hub.
Flagler's contributions to Florida extended beyond transportation. He also played a crucial role in the development of luxury resorts, most notably in St. Augustine, Palm Beach, and Miami. His opulent hotels, including the Ponce de Leon Hotel in St. Augustine and the Royal Poinciana Hotel in Palm Beach, attracted wealthy visitors and helped establish Florida as a winter retreat. The legacy of Henry Flagler lives on in the economic and infrastructural transformation he brought to Florida, shaping the state's identity as a resort destination and contributing significantly to its economic development.
While Flagler's impact on Florida was profound, his legacy is not without controversy. His development projects often faced criticism for environmental impact and concerns about monopolistic practices. Nevertheless, Flagler's contributions to Florida's growth and tourism industry remain undeniable, and his name is memorialised in various landmarks and institutions.

What a cute ornament with all the best bosses from Mega Man 1-4! The coating (to keep from scratching) almost feels like podge glue. Awesome! Very awesome - see my photo for size.

I never thought about collecting Christmas Ornaments for each place my husband & I traveled until later on in our lives. Now I'm trying to play catch up with all the places we've traveled to & didn't have an ornament. I made a travel tree this year that I will keep up all year in my office, since the majority of the ornaments are places from all around the world where our company has taken us to. Print was large enough to see.

We wanted an elegant looking ornament to add to our family Christmas tree and we were very excited to see we were given the option to upgrade to this one as we customized the art work. We loved it, the product is very well made. I knew the product would be elegant but was pleasantly surprised at the weight of the item and that it came in a protective pouch we can use to store.
