SALISBURY, MD - A flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol has been donated to Poplar Hill Mansion in Salisbury where it will now be displayed.

According to the City of Salisbury, the US flag was donated by the Samuel Chase Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, who previously requested the flag from U.S. Senator Ben Cardin. The City says the group chooses one organization per year to receive a flag and chose Poplar Hill Mansion as the latest recipient. 

The flag, five feet tall by eight feet wide, and its accompanying certificates are displayed in the dining room of the Mansion, and the replica War of 1812 flag that previously adorned the room has been moved upstairs. 

“It’s a great honor to receive this flag and have it displayed at Poplar Hill Mansion,” said Curator Sarah Meyers. “Thank you to the DAR for thinking of us for this important piece of history.”  

Poplar Hill Mansion will reopen on Sunday, January 14th and resume free, open-house tours on Fridays and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m.
