St. George Cross

The flag carried to the New World by most of the early English explorers. Its use can be traced back to 1277 in Britain.

King’s Colors

This flag was used by the Jamestown settlers in 1607. Design originated by King James I of England. A combination of St. George Cross and the Scottish Cross of St. Andrew.

British Red Ensign

In 1607, Queen Anne of England, adopted this design for her country. Cornwallis surrendered under this flag at Yorktown in 1781.


Continental

One of two different flags hoisted at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. As depicted in the painting, “The Death of Warren” (or “The Battle of Bunker Hill”).

Gadsden

The flag of the first commander of the U.S. Navy, Esek Hopkins. It takes the popular name from Colonel Christopher Gadsden, who gave a replica of the original to the S.C. Provincial Congress.

Grand Union

By superimposing six white stripes on the British red ensign, the colonists created the first national flag of the United States, properly called the CONTINENTAL COLORS, used from 1775 to 1777.


Betsy Ross

Named after its alleged designer. This pattern was one of many in use from 1777 to 1795. Although its authenticity has often been challenged, this flag has become an American historical legend.

Bennington

The oldest Stars and Stripes in existence. Used at the Battle of Bennington, August 16, 1777, by the Vermont Militia. The first Stars and Stripes to lead American armed forces on land.

Star-Spangled Banner

The fifteen stars and fifteen stripes of this battered banner inspired Francis Scott Key to write the U.S. national anthem during the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814.


Old Glory

As a more practical design to accomodate new states entering the union, seven red and six white stripes were adopted April 4, 1818. A star would be added for each new state.

Bedford

The oldest known flag in the United States. It was carried at the Battle of Concord, April 19, 1775, the opening day of the American Revolution, and is still in existence today in Bedford, Mass.

Bunker Hill

One of two different flags hoisted at the Battle of Bunker Hill June 17, 1775. Originally, an old British blue ensign flag. Colonists added the Pine Tree.


Commodore Perry

During the War of 1812 with Great Britain, Commodore Oliver Perry hoisted this flag during the Battle of Lake Erie on Sept. 10, 1813. It recalls the words of Capt. James Lawrence from an earlier Naval battle near Boston.

Culpeper

This flag represents the minutemen of Culpeper County, Virginia. It symbolizes vigilance and deadly striking power.

First Navy Jack

This is a popular variation of the United States Naval ensign which used the rattlesnake device, first employed by Benjamin Franklin, and its well-known warning – “DON’T TREAD ON ME.”


Moultrie

This flag flew over Fort Moultrie in the harbor at Charleston, South Carolina, during the unsuccessful British attack on June 28, 1776. It became part of the current South Carolina state flag.

Philadelphia Light Horse

First American flag to represent the 13 colonies by use of 13 stripes. Alternating blue and silver stripes in the canton. Believed to have been designed by Capt. Abram Markoes in 1774.

Pine Tree

Devised by Massachusetts rebels to be a different version of the Bunker Hill or Continental flags. Symbol of the Sons of Liberty, an opposition group that planned the Boston Tea Party.


Rhode Island Regiment

This typical regimental color of the Revolution combines a state symbol, the anchor, with a national symbol, thirteen gold stars. The original flag is still in Providence, RI.

Taunton

First raised in Taunton, MA around 1774, this flag displayed the colonist’s growing dissatisfaction with Great Britain’s rule over them.

Washington’s Cruisers

The first vessels in the American Navy, commissioned by George Washington in 1775, flew a pine tree flag of New England with motto, "AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN."
