The Museum of the American Revolution will kick off its celebration of America’s Semiquincentennial with a special exhibition, “Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags,” which will bring together 16 original flags from the Revolutionary era – the largest gathering of such flags since the close of the eight-year conflict in 1783. Opening on the 250th anniversary of the “shot heard round the world” at the Battles of Lexington and Concord which ignited the Revolutionary War, “Banners of Liberty” will be on view exclusively at the Museum in the first-floor Patriots Gallery.
