A Confederate flag captured from the CSS Hampton lies on a protective sheet during a ceremony celebrating the transfer of ownership of the flag from the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society to Navy History and Heritage Command. The note attached to the flag reads, "That of Confed gun boat Hampton burnt in James River at the taking of Richmond. The flag was taken from the burning ship by Liet. Ladd (13th N. Hampshire), Gen. Devens staff." The flag has been in the historical society's possession since the 1960s. The museum plans to preserve the flag and make it a part of their Civil War exhibit.
