MEET UP! CIVIL WAR FLAG UNVEILING AT THE STATE MUSEUM, TRENTON

In the American Civil War, flags guided troops into battle and served as patriotic emblems of honor and pride. Join flag historian Dr. David Martin and Curator of Cultural History Nicholas Ciotola for a gallery walk about the history of five new flags to be unveiled in the State Museum’s exhibition, The Civil War Flag Collection of New Jersey. One-hour tour followed by a reception hosted by Hunterdon 300th in the museum’s Riverview Court. Attendees can also visit Discovering Grant Castner, a new exhibit consisting of more than 200 historical images taken by a long-forgotten, turn-of-the-20th-century photographer from Belvidere, NJ, who later lived and worked in Trenton.
