Here’s one of only a couple dozen flags from the American Revolution that exist today. This is the Rhode Island Regiment flag of 1781 carried at the Siege of Yorktown. The Rhode Island Regiment at the time was comprised of the 2nd Rhode Island Regiment and the remains of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment (the “Black Regiment”).
We are working with Rhode Island State officials and the National Museum of the United States Army to conserve and display this amazing flag for the public to see!
