The Forster Flag, housed at the Concord Museum in Concord, Massachusetts, is a rare and significant artifact from the American Revolutionary War. Believed to have been carried by Captain Ebenezer Forster and his militia during the early skirmishes near Concord and Lexington in 1775, this flag symbolizes the colonists' defiance against British rule. Originally a British Red Ensign, its Union Jack was altered, transforming it into a powerful emblem of rebellion and independence.
Originally double sided with 6 white stripes on the front side and 7 on the reverse, our printed version only has six stripes on both sides. It's our creative adaptation to make production faster and improve print quality for you!
The Forster flag is a testament to the resourcefulness and determination of the American Revolutionaries as they transitioned from colonial subjects to freedom fighters and remains a cherished historical relic, inspiring patriotism and connecting us to the struggles and triumphs of the nation’s founding.
