Local DAR chapter seeking historic American flags


Posted

CLAY COUNTY - As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of American independence, Orange Park’s Sophia Fleming Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) is documenting historic American flags in the community as part of a national DAR initiative known as the “Flag~enger Hunt.”

Chapter members are looking for some of the oldest United States flags in the Clay County and Jacksonville area. These may be located in museums, historic sites, veterans’ organizations, businesses or even preserved in private family collections.

The Sophia Fleming Chapter would love to hear from anyone who knows of a historic American flag and would like to share its story. The goal is to document the flag’s history, its location and how it came to be preserved in our area. Community members who have information about historic United States flags are invited to contact the Sophia Fleming Chapter DAR at: Carrie.SophiaFlemingregistrar@gmail.com
