The President’s Flag
Learn about Presidential Flags
This exhibit, the first of its kind in the United States, expands on the Eisenhower Oval Office Presidential Flag Exhibit at the Museum in October 2012, where the authentic hand embroidered 48, 49, and 50-star presidential flags were on display.
The President’s Flag
This new permanent exhibit is located in a newly remodeled room made possible with an Unrestricted Grant from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF). Construction materials, mounted photo enlargements, informative placards, with museum-quality display walls, lighting, and exhibit booklets for visitors were all made possible with a PCCF grant.
Photographs of this historic exhibit are currently on display along with an evolving 300-page manuscript of the only book ever written on the “Evolution of the United States’ Presidential Flags 1817 to 1960” by Robert Williamson, Museum Curator/Director.
