Description: This Imperial Chinese flag dates from 1872 to 1890. The wool flag depicts a blue five-toed dragon reaching for a red sun on a yellow triangular field. The halyard edge is pink. Lieutenant General Adna Romanza Chaffee acquired this flag during his service in the Boxer Rebellion. The triangular pennant flag measures 170 by 285 cm. From 1899-1901, the Chinese Society of Right and Harmonious Fists launched an uprising against foreign influences in China. Westerners referred to members of the society as "Boxers" because they practiced martial arts and calisthenics. Targets of the Boxers' violence were foreign builders, diplomats and Christians, both foreign and Chinese. The United States and other countries with interests in China sent troops to rescue their citizens who were under siege in the legation compound of Beijing (then Peking). This international force, known in the United States as the China Relief Expedition, suppressed the rebellion and imposed reparations on China. Alcott Farrar Elwell of East Hebron, New Hampshire, donated this flag to the Ohio Historical Society in 1962. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The flag reads: "We are Chautauqua Boosters". It is a triangular flag made of oil cloth and measures 84 by 45 cm. For 50 years Chautauqua tent circuits captivated rural towns in the East and Midwest. At its height (1924) an estimated 30,000,000 Americans attended dramas, lectures, music, operas, orchestras and other cultural events. A minister, John H. Vincent, of Camptown, New Jersey created the movement by organizing outdoor bible study with visual cues to bring his community together. In 1874 He recruited Lewis Miller to oversee a short summer school in Akron, Ohio. The summer appointments grew in size and quality over the years, bringing otherwise unattainable high culture and learning to rural folk. Several off-shoots expanded Vincent's idea in search of profit. the Ellison-White brown tents brought the Chautauqua west of the Rocky Mountains. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Ohio's state flag was adopted in 1902. The Ohio burgee, as the swallowtail design is properly called, was designed by John Eisenmann. The large blue triangle represents Ohio's hills and valleys, and the stripes represent roads and waterways. The 13 stars grouped about the circle represent the original states of the union; the 4 stars added to the peak of the triangle symbolize that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the union. The white circle with its red center not only represents the "O" in Ohio, but also suggests Ohio's famous nickname, "The Buckeye State." This flag measures 150 by 245 cm and is made of cotton.
