The Civil War Flags Message Board

More rare Confederate Flags

I found quite a few Confederate flags in museums of Northern States. Most of these prizes of war were returned long ago, but a few states never agreed to return their flags and still retain them. Here are some that I found with just a few searches. A few are for sale. The Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond has the best collection anywhere of Captured Confederate flags that were returned to Southern States and then donated to the museum. Maybe your ancestor's regimental flag is at one of these links. Enjoy!
