This hour-long, behind-the-scenes walking tour explores the State Historical Building’s Battle Flag Preservation Laboratory. Staff offer an educational presentation on how Iowa’s Civil War, Spanish American War and World War I battle flags are preserved.
Participants will be able to view in-progress stabilization treatments, gain an understanding of the meticulous process of stabilization, and learn about the exciting military history of the flags.
Group tours are given by appointment only.
Due to the highly sensitive nature of the work involved with stabilizing and preserving Iowa's historic battle flags, each tour is limited to 10 participants age 7 and older.
