Star Spangled Banner


The version of the  United States flag flown during the War of 1812 is now for sale at the Keeper's House!  This flag had 15 stars and 15 stripes for the first 15 states.  This was the only flag with 15 stripes.  In 1818, Congress decided that from then on the flag would have only 13 stripes for the original colonies.

Fly your own Star Spangled Banner! We are selling 3x5' flags at $20 each.  Get yours today and celebrate the importance of the War of 1812!
