The Washington County Historical Society is excited to continue our USA 250 programs with Rocky Bliss about the history of the US Flag at the Washington County Heritage Center, 1862 S. Greeley Street, Stillwater, on Tuesday June 2 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The “Stars & Stripes” have flown over forts as well as city halls and private residences for more than 250 years. Bliss will tell the ever-changing story of the American Flag and what it has come to symbolize.
Nathan (Rocky) Bliss was born in Stillwater and lived there until he was four when his family moved to Bayport. A graduate of Stillwater High School, Rocky’s interest in flags started when he was eight by curiosity about the flags of the first thirteen states displayed on the front of the Lowell Inn.
In the 1980s, Rocky served as a council member then mayor for the City of Bayport and designed the Bayport flag. He has an amateur interest in history and is currently a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Sons of Norway, and an affiliate member of the Royal Canadian Legion.
The Historical Society’s USA 250 programs are free to the public. For more information contact the Washington County Heritage Center at information@wchsmn.org or call at 651-439-2298.
