Did You Know?
Palm Beach Native is the creation of Jefferson Blakeslee, a native of Palm Beach who moved north in 1975 to Minneapolis, MN. Over the next 35 years, Jefferson established the Palm Beach Native archive, in his own words, to “stay warm, especially in the below-zero winters.” His love of the classic images of native Palm Beach, with its early 1900s Lake Trail scenes and famous landmarks, were only the beginning. Over time, Palm Beach Native came to cover most of the counties in Florida, growing to include over 700 tropical memorabilia images. In 2014, Palm Beach Native “moved back home” to Jupiter, FL, and Jefferson is pleased to have the Palm Beach Native archive back where it belongs: near the gulf stream!
