Events › History of the American Flag

The Canton Historical Society, in collaboration with the Canton Public Library, invites you to join us for a presentation by Lance Youles. He will discuss the ever-changing transformation of the American flag throughout our country’s history. Find out how it looked in the past, how it has been portrayed in film, and how it transformed into its present layout of thirteen stripes and fifty stars. There is so much more to know about our flag than we were taught in school.
