The Onondaga County Clerk’s Office sent ten local Civil War Flags for preservation. The flags were stored in an oak wall case in the office for over 80 years. Three out of the five "Onondaga regiments" are represented by these flags.

On June 14, 2002, three of the flags were return from the preservation process. All ten flags are now in a case outside the County Clerk’s office on the 2nd floor foyer in the Courthouse. They are laid flat in drawers within a cabinet ready for public viewing. If you would like to see these flags or contribute to the preservation of the flags, please contact me or mail your contribution to:
