The facility was built in 1936 prior to World War II, as a military armory for Company E, 167th Infantry Division. Built under the Works Progress Act (WPA), the building was constructed of local rough

limestone. With its distinctive castellated (castle-like) architecture, the Museum sits on a tree-covered hilltop adjacent to Guntersville’s highly rated city Library and overlooking the acclaimed Whole Backstage Community Theatre.

This week the Guntersville Museum raised the Grand Union flag in celebration of America 250. This was the flag flying over Independence Hall when the Declaration of Independence was signed. The famous thirteen star Betsy Ross flag wasn’t adopted until 1777.

It features the red cross of St. George for England and the white cross (or “saltire”) of St. Andrew for Scotland in the upper left corner (or “canton”). It does not show the Irish red saltire of St. Patrick found in the contemporary British flag.
