Veterans Day Flag Folding Ceremony

Celebrate Veterans Day at the Heinz History Center!

Join us on Tuesday, Nov. 11 to participate in the unfurling and folding of a giant 36-foot American flag in the Great Hall. Reflect upon the civic democracy and history that the flag represents while honoring the service of our veterans. Just as a flag this large requires many people to fold, consider the many voices that make up and support our Republic.

This program is part of the History Center’s year-long commemoration of the U.S. Semiquincentennial, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, in partnership with America250PA.

America250PA was established by the Pennsylvania state legislature and Governor in 2018 to plan, encourage, develop and coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Pennsylvania’s integral role in that event, and the impact of its people on the nation’s past, present, and future.

Admission

The flag folding ceremony is free for all visitors, but regular admission applies to access exhibitions.
