CHANDLER, Ariz. - Since January, the City of Chandler has been celebrating America 250, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, at facilities across the city. In addition to themed events and activities, one of the main components of the celebration is an exhibit of "27 Flags: Our History Through the Stars and Stripes," with individual displays located at 14 city buildings.

Starting June 10, all the flags in "27 Flags: Our History Through the Stars and Stripes" will be on display together at the Chandler Museum. The exhibit represents the evolution of our nation's flag, with historical facts accompanying each one. The complete collection of flags will be on display at the Chandler Museum through June 30.

After the All-American Bash on July 4, the flags will go back to the 14 locations around Chandler, including libraries, recreation centers, Vision Gallery and Chandler Museum.
