Did you know? The Star-Spangled Banner flag is at this museum and it's NEVER leaving.
The Armistead family took care of the flag for most of its post-War-of-1812 life. In 1912, Georgiana Armistead Appleton's son Eben Appleton decided to give the Star-Spangled Banner to the Smithsonian as a permanent gift. In 1913, the National Star-Spangled Banner Centennial Commission in Baltimore asked to borrow the flag for their celebration.
Eben immediately wrote to the Secretary of the Smithsonian, Charles D. Walcott. "I gave the flag to the National Museum with the firm and settled intention of having it remain there forever," he wrote, "and regarded the acceptance of the gift by the Authorities of the Museum as evidence of their willingness to comply with this condition..." Eben asked Walcott to ensure that any "citizen who visits the museum with the expectation of seeing the flag be sure of finding it in its accustomed place." So, the flag will be here next time you visit us--and the time after that. When was the last time you saw it?
