Four Featured Flags

  • The Star-Spangled Banner, also known as the 15-star, 15-stripe garrison flag, has 15 horizontal red and white stripes and 15 white stars in a blue field. The stars are arranged in five horizontal rows of three stars each, and the flag is about one-fourth the size of a basketball court. The flag was made in 1813 by Mary Young Pickersgill and other workers in her Baltimore home, and was intended to fly from a 90-foot flagpole during the War of 1812.

  • Discover the rich history and significance of the Betsy Ross flag, a timeless symbol of American freedom. And every Fourth of July, homeowners across the country salute her by proudly flying “Betsy Ross flags,” featuring thirteen alternating red-and-white stripes and thirteen five-pointed stars in a circle on a field of blue.

  • The Bennington Flag, also known as the "Fillmore" flag, is a well-known and old American flag that has 13 stars and 13 stripes, a large "76" in the canton, and a blue field that is taller than other flags. The flag's features are:

    13 stars and 13 stripes: Represent the 13 American colonies that were rebelling against Great Britain

    Large "76" in the canton: Refers to the year 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed

    White stripes on the outside: Unlike most American flags, the white stripes are on the outside, not the red stripes

    Blue field with nine stripes: The blue field is taller than other flags, with nine stripes instead of seven

    Eleven seven-pointed stars in an arch: With two additional stars in the upper corners of the canton

  • The 34-star flag of the United States was the official flag from July 4, 1861 to July 3, 1863, when West Virginia became the 35th state. The flag has 13 red and white stripes, a blue canton, and 34 white stars in the upper left quadrant. The stars are arranged in a pattern with one in the center, two concentric rings, and one in each corner
