In advance of Memorial Day, Morrison Historical Society offers a program by Stephanie Vavra, featuring the flag of the United States of America and four variations of The Pledge of Allegiance. The event is on Sunday, May 22, 2022, at Morrison’s Heritage Museum, 202 E. Lincolnway, Morrison, IL. Doors open at 1:00 p.m., and the program begins promptly at 1:30.
All interested MHS members, veterans, and the general public are invited to attend. Wearing red, white, and blue is encouraged. Bring a pen or pencil.
Local Scouts will demonstrate the folding of a flag into a “star-spangled” presentation triangle. Each of 13 folds has a specific meaning. Cadette Girl Scout Annabelle Blevins and adult Boy Scout Anthony Fulton will use an historic flag that was used through 1867.
Completed in 1865, Morrison’s Heritage Museum is a former Congregational Church. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Air-conditioning and accessibility via a ramp at the back will add to your comfort.
Refreshments will be served.
