On this day 250 years ago in the Revolution — January 12, 1774

On this day 250 years ago Patriots erected a flagpole and unfurled a Liberty Flag at the corner of what is now Church and Union Streets in Schenectady, New York. In 1776 and 1777, the flag was also reportedly carried during the Revolutionary War by the 3rd New York Regiment.
