National Museum of American History in Washington Displays the Ansbach-Bayreuth Regimental Flag From November 11: Made in 1775, Surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, Showing Its Reverse Side After Conservation
The Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington will put the Ansbach-Bayreuth Regimental Flag on display starting November 11, on the third floor west of the museum within the Price of Freedom exhibition, according to the museum November calendar published by Smithsonian Magazine.
The flag is a white silk damask military flag made in 1775 for a German mercenary unit raised to support the British crown in North America. It was surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, and is one of the few surviving Revolutionary War trophy flags.
Following recent conservation, the reverse side of the flag will replace the side that has been on display in Price of Freedom, the museum major ongoing exhibition of its United States military history collections, the museum said.
The museum is open seven days a week, except December 25, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with free admission and no passes required. Other November displays in the building include the Route 66 display and the exhibition In Pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness, which features 250 objects and runs through the end of 2026.
