The flag measures 30 feet by 60 feet and can be seen from across Anchor Bay in Fair Haven. It flies 160 feet off the ground atop the second-tallest pole in our country, enabling boaters to use it as a landmark. Our glorious flag, fluttering on the shore of Anchor Bay in Our Town, is famous. Finally, on May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed a national observance of Flag Day, but it took until 1949 for an act of congress to declare National Flag Day to be observed on June 14, with Bernard being recognized as having originated the idea on that date.

OBSERVE FLAG DAY AND FLY OLD GLORY JUNE 14: On June 14, 1885, Bernard Cigrand, a 19 year-old school teacher in Wanbeka, Wisconsin, had a lifelong dream of a national day of recognition for our country’s flag, and spent years lobbying for it.
