JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com/Jmst Tourism) – Jamestown area Boy Scouts conducted an inaugural flag-raising ceremony at the Frontier Village Wednesday, August 9th.
“Installing this flagpole on the path to the World’s Largest Buffalo was a culmination of several entities,” said Allison Limke, Visitor Experience Manager for Jamestown Tourism. “We’re so grateful for the community and their support.”

The flagpole was donated by the Jamestown All Vets Club with the flag being provided by the local chapter of Disabled American Veterans (DAV). The Jamestown City Water Department, led by Superintendent Joe Rowell, took charge of installing the flagpole.

Boy Scouts Brayden Motter, Isaac Lloyd, Isaac Hasbargen, Zayven Gaiser with Troop 163, and Becca Lloyd with Troop 5555 conducted a ceremony to raise the flag for the first time. It will continue to fly for the rest of the summer through September 17, when it will then be lowered for the remainder of the year.

A light will shine on the flag through the night thanks to Advantage Electric.

“We’re excited to have our nation’s flag flying over the site,” Limke added. “Uniting two of our nation’s symbols; The flag and the buffalo. It’s a testament to the land of the free and mighty.”
