The National Flag Day Foundation’s Americanism Center

If you’re a Yankee Doodle Dandy like me, then you’re going to love the National Flag Day Foundation.  Located in Waubeka, WI on former “school grounds”, the National Flag Day Foundation is keeping Flag Day Observance alive by getting America‘s youth involved.

In 1995 the National Flag Day Foundation built what they call the “Americanism Center” that contains a museum, a commemorative courtyard, and (my personal favorite) an “Avenue of Flags“.

Along side each fringed flag is a political , economic, and military history of our great country. The National Flag Day Foundation also utilizes the Avenue of Flags as a teaching tool for school groups that are invited to tour the facilities free of charge.

The balance of their building is occupied by Scouts, American Legion, 4-H groups, the Lions Club, and senior citizens. It is open continuously and there is no charge for using the facilities.

The whole museum is open to the public anytime by request at:

(262) 692-2385 *or* (262) 692-2811.

Flag Day is celebrated each year on June 14th.  The first official Flag Day was celebrated in 1877, and Congress made it an annual observance in 1949 by resolving that “The 14th day of June of each year is hereby designated as Flag Day”.  Americans celebrate Flag Day in different ways, most commonly by flying or displaying the American flag. 

Here are some suggestions and ideas of fun things that you can do on June 14th to celebrate Flag Day, and a whole bunch of websites that can help! 

1) Have a barbecue. 

Decorate your home or backyard with red, white, blue, and yellow ribbons. Display or hang your American Flag on your front porch, door, balcony, deck, or window.  Cook some hot dogs and hamburgers to share with your guests, and make Flag Cake, Uncle Sam Hat Cake, or Stars & Stripes cupcakes
