2010 Flag Preservation Project
Raleigh, NC- January 15, 2011 Members of Co. I, 6th NCST (Cedar Fork Rifles Preservation Society) announced today that they have reached about 33% of their goals of fund raising for the 6th N.C.S.T. Battleflag preservation project announced in January 2009.
The Battleflag (above) is currently in storage at the North Carolina Museum of History. This historic flag was carried by the 6th North Carolina State troops in 1864 and 1865. Captured at Sailors Creek and returned to NC in 1905 this relic needs conservation work before it can be displayed to the general public. Members have been selling t-shirts (pictured above) for $20 with all profits being contributed to the Flag preservation fund. We have also traveled to a number of SCV camps in the Capitol Area to tell the story of this flag and the men who carried it.
