Bennington Flag - The Posy Collection

Kit includes 18ct aida, floss, needle, chart, instructions and color photo of finished project.

Finished size 4" x 3" 

The design of the Bennington Flag features seven white stripes and six red stripes. Its field, or canton, of blue contains the numerals 76 and thirteen seven-point stars, eleven of which are arranged in an arch over the numerals, with the remaining two positioned in the upper corners. This flag is associated with the American Revolution Battle of Bennington, fought in 1777, from which it derives its name, but there is no evidence that a flag of this design or any similar striped design was carried into that battle. The original flag is housed at the BenningtonMuseum in Bennington, Vermont.
