New Hampshire Hall of Flags

Leave a reply

Located just a few blocks down from Flag-Works over America in Concord,  New Hampshire is the state capital. The building was designed by architect Stuart James Park, and built between the years of 1816-1819. Inside the main lobby area of this historic building is the Hall of Flags formerly known as Doric Hall, which was named and designed after a similar display in the Massachusetts capitol building by Charles Bulfinch.  The halls feature over 100 battle flags carried by New Hampshire soldiers, representing the Civil War, Spanish-American War, WW I,  WW II, and the Vietnam War.  The flags surrounding you go back to  our nations infancy.  Some of these flags are so old that there isn’t barely anything left of them, others are torn and tattered due to going through the riggers of war.

Many of  the flags in the hall are here today because of those who gave their life to protect these flags and what they stand for. All of the flags have a story, and this room is not lacking. Some of the flags are from different states, some are from foreign countries and some are from our country.  It is quite a site to see to be in the same room inches away from a flag that may have been held by such important people like Franklin Pierce the 14th president of the United States and General John Stark, as well as many other people who founded this great country. Just like the men who fought to protect the flag then, we have men and women now who fight to protect our flag today.  Our hope is that one day some of the flags that they fight to protect may be added to this room full of historic flags.
