Fritchie Flag Heroism Honored in Haverhill Ceremonies
Ceremonies in Haverhill mark the 130th anniversary of the Fritchie flag incident when a woman defied Confederate troops by shielding the Ameritas flag near her West Patrick Street home. Officials will raise a Capitol flag at the Haverhill Public Library as state and national leaders attend. Frederick has no ceremonies due to Carroll Creek construction.
