Civil War Flag Unveiling Event

Join flag historian Dr. David Martin and Curator of Cultural History Nicholas Ciotola for the history of five new flags to be unveiled in The Civil War Flag Collection of New Jersey.
In the American Civil War, flags guided troops into battle and served as symbolic emblems of dedication, pride and patriotism. Highlights of this unveiling include a ceremonial artillery flag from the 2nd New Jersey Battery and the national colors of the 9th New Jersey, a regiment that earned the nickname “Jersey Muskrats” after a daring amphibious assault at the 1862 Battle of Roanoke Island.
Event is free and open to the public.
