25 Star Flag

As you walk into the park from the parking lot, our Chapel is on the left. If you follow the path in front of the Chapel it will lead you to the gazebo and our village flag pole. The 25-star flag we are flying this weekend became the Official United States Flag on July 4th, 1836. A star was added for the admission of Arkansas (June 15th, 1836) and was to last for just one year. The two Presidents to serve under this flag were Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) and Martin Van Buren (1837-1841). This flag was only in use for one-year as Michigan entered the union the following year, adding another star.
