Friday Flags in Cheshire CT
The flag today comes from a plot of ground in front of a colonial structure that was once a thriving business.
Now called the Ball & Socket arts building, it offers attractions and areas to exhibit for local artists. In its heyday, it was a stamping plant that made all manner of buttons, some of which adorned the military uniforms during the Civil War.
Back in the late 1980's the company was bought by Waterbury Companies and their museum was merged with that plants.
A factory with a proud heritage and once the source of work for so many now has a different audience, but the flag still waves proudly.
