American Flag Retirement Ceremony

June 14 @ 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM

| FREE

It may come as a surprise to many, but one of the proper and respectful methods of retiring a tattered or damaged American flag is by burning it. During our ceremony, the flag is carefully cut into pieces and each section is burned in a specific order, beginning with the stripes and ending with the blue field. This free event will take place outdoors on the Historic Grounds and will begin at 5:30 PM on June 14 in honor of Flag Day.
