Marlboro Township Historical Society unveils permanent exhibit of Civil War-era U.S. flag for public view.

Tonight, we unveiled our most recent project: a 35 star civil war era flag.
The flag was donated by the McClun family; it flew over their dry goods store, McClun & Co., which was once located in Marlboro square.
The conservation and framing project was made possible because of generous gifts from the community and support from an America 250 grant from Visit Canton and Arts in Stark.

The flag will be available to view on Memorial Day before the parade. Be sure to stop by and check it out!
