The Ionia Courthouse & Flag of the 21st
A flag of the 21st Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment that was displayed in the Ionia Courthouse is being returned to Michigan after 1.5 years of conservation work at Textile Preservation Associates in West Virginia. Save the Flags was honored in assisting and offering advice to the Ionia community in the conservation of this very beautiful and important presentation battle flag.
The collaborative project between Save the Flags and the VFW Muir-Lyons Post made quite a few news headlines!
