The Bennington flag features a “76” in the canton, representing the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, 1776. Unlike the current American flag, the white stripes are arranged as the outermost (rather than the red). The blue canton is taller than that of other U.S. flags, spanning nine stripes instead of the usual seven. The stars on the Bennington flag have seven points each, while most U.S. flags feature stars with five points.
