Revolution Society and George Washington Council Preview of "Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags"

Revolution Society and George Washington Council Members, exhibition sponsors, and corporate partners are invited to the Museum for an exclusive event celebrating the opening of our new special exhibition, Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags before it opens to the public on Saturday, April 19. The celebration will include a reception, remarks at 7 p.m., and complimentary valet parking. 

The Museum's upcoming special exhibit, Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags, will mark the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States Armed Forces (Army, Navy, and Marine Corps) with a special exhibition in the Museum’s first-floor Patriots Gallery, only on view until August 10, 2025. Of the hundreds of flags made and carried in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) by the Continental Army and American militia, only about 30 are known to survive. Working with institutional and private lenders, the Museum will assemble and display more than a dozen original flags that were carried in military campaigns stretching from northern New England to South Carolina. This exhibition will feature the largest gathering of rare and significant Revolutionary War flags in more than two centuries. 

To register for this event, RSVP by April 3, 2025 to Kelley Dahlen at [email protected] or 267.579.3380.
