Discover the fascinating history and different forms of Old Glory from 1775-1781.

Revealed in this journey will be the oldest flag in the Revolution (Lexington and Concord 1775) culminating in our first official flag and why Betsy Ross is credited with its creation in 1781. The presentation ends with a demonstration of how Betsy Ross created a perfect five-pointed star with a single snip from a pair of scissors.

Like his patriot ancestor, Arthur proudly served in the military with the 101st Airborne Division, Military Intelligence office in Vietnam.
