Just once a year, July 4th, we take the Relic Home's 45 star flag
out of its display case and let it grace the festivities of the day.
The 45-Star flag became the official United States Flag on July 4, 1896. A star was added for the admission of Utah on January 4th, 1896 and was to last for 12 years. The Presidents who served under this flag were: Grover Cleveland (1893-1897), William McKinley (1897-1901), and Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909).
The Spanish - American War was fought under this flag; a conflict between the Kingdom of Spain and the United States of America that took place from April to August of 1898.
