Flags and fathers honor Bennington flag heritage
At 518 W. 3rd St a display of colonial flags honors Jim Smith and his son Alex and their Betsy Ross flag. The Bennington flag tied to Stark’s army at Bennington, its 1777 origin, and Betsy Ross’s banner story anchor a day of family and museum flags with Civil War relics and the 15 star flag tied to Lake Erie and New Orleans.
