GAR Flag Dedication Ceremony

In October 2022, the Conway Public Library received a $20,000 Mooseplate grant from the Conservation License Plate Trust Fund, the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts (NHSCA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to perform conservation treatment on the library’s Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) flag.

The flag has been part of the library collection for nearly one hundred years. It was donated to the Conway Public Library (AKA Jenks Memorial Library) on May 28th, 1924.
