Lincoln Flag to go on display Friday

A 34-star Civil War-era American flag will be on display at the Eldridge hotel this Friday in honor of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

The flag, on loan from Kansas University professor Dennis Dailey’s personal collection, boasts one star for each state in the Union at the time. Known as the Lincoln Flag because of the famed president’s use of it as the national flag, it will be displayed from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. at 701 Mass. along with several additional Civil War items.

The display will run as part of Final Fridays in Lawrence and is free and open to the public.
