The Tennessee State Museum

The Tennessee State Museum is home to Old Glory through November 26 in an exhibit titled, “Old Glory: An American Treasure Comes Home." The flag was atop a nineteenth-century ship before being hidden inside a quilt here in Nashville during the Civil War. After spending a good bit of the last century

at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., Old Glory is back in Nashville, on loan for eight months.“Old Glory: An American Treasure Comes Home" showcases

the 10’x17’ flag, which was presented to Massachusetts sea captain William Driver by his family before he set sail around the world in the early 1830s. The Union supporter had it sewn inside a quilt for fear that the Rebels would burn it.
