A tattered Confederate second national flag leans against the broken carriage of a cannon.
Below is a list of Museums
with active flag conservation programs.
The conservation of these flags is expensive.
It is a major strain on the financial resources of most museums.
But without conservation,
these cherished relics will continue to deteriorate,
until they are eventually lost to future students of history.
We encourage you to help these fine establishments
keep this part of our heritage alive for succeeding generations.
