NC Museum of History in Raleigh Shows Never Exhibited Flags


From the January 25, 2014, Columbia,(Ind) Republic by AP.

Civil War flags never before exhibited or not shown in many years are to be seen in the museum's "North Carolina and the Civil War: The Bitter End, 1864-1865."

It is the final exhibit in its three-part series commemorating the 150th anniversary of the war.

The flags have been conserved by re-enactment groups and organizations. They will be changed periodically to avoid prolonged exposure to light.

The era portrayed begin with the spring of 1864 and continues to the surrender of the CSS Shenandoah on November 6, 1865.
