‘Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags’ officially opens to the public this Saturday, April 19 at the MoAR.
The exhibit features more than a dozen Revolutionary War flags, making it the largest gathering of rare and significant flags of its kind in more than two centuries. As a release notes, 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.
Opening day at the museum will also hold a free public kick-off event (from 10:15 to 11 a.m.) with performances from the Central York Middle School Colonial Fife and Drum Corps, a presentation of colors, and remarks by Museum officials and elected leaders.
MoAR is located at 101 S 3rd St. For more information and tickets, visit amrevmuseum.org
