Visit the Museum of the American Revolution over Flag Day Weekend, on Flag Day, Saturday, June 14 and Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15, to view the largest gathering of rare and significant Revolutionary War flags in more than two centuries and partake in flag-themed crafts and gallery talks, living history interpretation, a special display in the Museum Rotunda, and more.

There’s no better way to celebrate the history of Flag Day and the anniversary of the Flag Act, as well as the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, than with the Museum of the American Revolution’s current special exhibition, “Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags”. Working with institutional and private lenders, the Museum has assembled and displayed more than a dozen original flags that were carried in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) by the Continental Army and American militia – and bear some of the first-known uses of the stars and stripes that the Flag Act went on to outline as the official signifier of a new nation.

Throughout the weekend, guests will receive a free handheld version of George Washington’s Headquarters Flag based on the flag in the Museum’s collection and currently on display in Banners of Liberty that is said to have marked Washington’s presence throughout the Revolutionary War. Visitors to Banners of Liberty over Flag Day Weekend can also hear a 10-minute gallery talk from a Museum educator about their personal favorite banner on display in the exhibition.
