Huntington Liberty Flag

On July 23, 1776, word of the Declaration of Independence reached Huntington. A crowd gathered on the Village Green, tore the King's Colors and the name George III from the British Red Ensign flying over the town, and left behind a single red flag with one word on its face: Liberty. The following month it was carried into the Battle of Long Island, captured by Hessian forces, and eventually made its way to a museum in Dresden, Germany, where it is believed to have been destroyed in the WWII firebombing. The flag was designated the official flag of the Town of Huntington in 1975.

Handcrafted from 10oz duck canvas with a muslin backing. Each flag is lightly waxed for a vintage, timeworn look and finished with polished brass grommets.
