At the Varnum Armory Museum, the historic 1695 Bristol Co. Militia flag was safely packed and moved from the armory to the Bristol Historical & Preservation Society for a short-term exhibit there. Being the oldest flag in America, great care was taken in moving and displaying this incredibly rare and historic artifact. Here we see Armory VP, Maria Vazquez, manage the effort with Armory intern Jack Fallon. We are happy to share this amazing artifact.
