The Grand Union Flag had been the flag of the new United States of America when the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776 bringing the new nation into existence. On June 14, 1777, the Congress voted to adopt the white stars on a blue field to represent the states. This is why June 14th is Flag Day.

In honor of the America250! Celebration, this page is sharing information during the month of June on US Flag.

The Grand Union Flag, or the Continental colors, used as the American emblem from 1775 until June 1777, was an initial attempt to forge a common symbol for the 13 colonies in revolution, but reflected a lingering tie to English heritage, with the British cross at upper left.

THE COMPUTER HAS ARRIVED.
This summer we began the long process of scanning every photograph, document, and map and photographing every artifact. Our goal is to make it possible for anybody, anywhere in the world, to be able to look at what we have from their computer at home. Our exhibits, archives, and collections on a global basis.
But this is a very expensive undertaking. We have had to tap into many of our funds to finance it. So I am asking you to donate what you can to help with the costs. Checks can be sent to Levittown Museum, 150 Abbey Lane, Levittown.
