Title
Banners of Liberty
Abstract
In mid-2025 the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, mounted a special exhibition: Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags. It displayed 15 of the roughly 30 flags from the Continental Army and Revolutionary militias known to still exist today, and constituted the largest gathering of flags from the Revolutionary side of the War for Independence since the Continental Army disbanded in 1783. The flags were chosen not only based on their outstanding provenance and lineage, but also because they charted the development of many early American symbols still used today.
