Clausen Flags

The Clausen Historic Flag Collection was on display in the Pennsylvania Capitol, East Wing, Harrisburg, PA during June and July, 2016.

Please note:  The Clausen flag display was handmade by Will Clausen during the 1960’s to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Flag Day.  His vision was to tell the history of how America was shaped through flags of historical importance.  The flag collection is designed to be displayed in a timeline in a historical context.  History is a compilation of good and bad events.  It is important to tell the whole story and not gloss over negative historical events.  This is the 100th anniversary of Flag Day, and we do not intend to cause offense to anyone by presenting this historical display.  Hanover Area Historical Society
