Our indoor flags are finished with a pole hem and your choice of with or without golden fringe. Gold Fringe is the traditional way to display an indoor flag, however, some people choose without fringe for a simple and clean look that is also less expensive. If you are looking for a complete indoor presentation set, our Build Your Own Indoor State Flag Set program allows you to select a durable nylon indoor Ohio Flag and choose between premium quality poles, bases, and ornaments, and tassel. For indoor applications, most buyers choose a 3ft. x 5ft. flag with an 8ft. pole, however, if you have a low ceiling, you may opt for a 7ft. pole, which is designed to work with drop ceilings. If you are looking for a very substantial state flag display, our 4ft. x 6ft. indoor flags can be paired with a 9ft. pole for our largest indoor display option.

"I thought, wouldn't it be wonderful to recreate this," Hardison said. "I think we were all thinking along the same vein … The Capitol is a working seat of government, in that the governor and his staff has his office there. But it is also a museum."

The Ohio State Flag features a burgee-shape, which is a rectangle with a triangle cut out of the fly-side of the flag. Ohio is the only US State that utilizes this unique shape. The flag features five alternating red and white stripes, with a blue triangular field on the hoist-side of the flag pointing towards the fly side. A red circle, outlined with a thick white border is featured in the center of the blue triangle. Surrounding the circle are 17 white five-pointed stars, 13 of which surround the circle and 4 of which are located in the apex. The red and white stripes on the flag represent the road and waterways of the state, while the circle is representative of the letter, "O," which stands for, "Ohio." The red circle also represents the see of the buckeye tree which is Ohio's official state tree. The blue triangle signifies the hills and valleys of the state, while the 13 stars surrounding the circle represent the 13 original colonies. The 17 total stars represent that Ohio was the 17th State to enter the Union. The Ohio State Flag was designed by John Eisemann and adopted on May 9th, 1902. Eisenmann was an architect and resident of Cleveland, Ohio who is renowned for designing many notable buildings in the state including buildings at Case Western University, where he was a professor.

A placard near the entrance of the house and senate chambers describes the history of the flags on display. Guides giving daily tours of the building have also been briefed to recount the history of the flags to visitors.

Barber said that if someone wanted to display the Confederate battle flag across the street at the North Carolina Museum of History, he would have no objection. But to display the flag where the state's governor has his office was over the line, he said.

"Our goal is not to create issues," said Hardison, a Civil War re-enactor and history buff. "Our goal is to help people understand issues of the past … if you refuse to put something that someone might object to or have a concern with in the exhibit, then you are basically censoring history."

The flag was raised inside the state House of Representatives chamber last week, as part of a historical display intended to replicate how the antebellum building appeared in 1863, when the southern Confederacy was fighting the Civil War against the northern Union, over slavery.

Hardison also pointed out that the national flag used by the Confederate government, the so-called Stars and Bars with its circle of white stars and red and white stripes, is still flown over the State Capitol dome each year on Confederate Memorial Day. The more familiar battle flag was used by the rebel military.

The North Carolina NAACP president, Reverend William Barber, was shocked on Friday when he was shown a photograph of the flag by The Associated Press. "He is right that it has a historical context," Barber said, referring to Hardison's words. "But what is that history? The history of racism. The history of lynchings. The history of death. The history of slavery. If you say that shouldn't be offensive, then either you don't know the history or you are denying the history."

Sessions of the state general assembly moved to a newer building half a century ago, but the old capitol is routinely used as a venue for official state government events. Governor Pat McCrory's office is on the first floor, as are the offices of his chief of staff and communications staff. The governor was in the house chamber, where the Confederate flag hangs, as recently as Wednesday, when he presided over the swearing in ceremony of his new Highway Patrol commander. McCrory, a Republican, was not immediately available for comment on Friday, a state government holiday.

Ohio is located in the Great Lakes Region of the United States of America. It shares borders with Pennsylvania, Michigan, Lake Erie, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Columbus is the largest city in the state and has been the capital city since 1816. Ohio was named after Ohio River which was taken from the Iroquois word "Ohi-yo" which translates as "continuously-spilling creek." Ohio is also referred to as "The Buckeye State" as it is famous for its buckeye trees that produce small brown nuts that resemble the eye of a deer. It is sometimes referred to as "The Mother of Presidents" as seven Presidents of the United States of America have been born in Ohio.

Prior to taking his current job, in 2006, Hardison worked as director at the Mississippi home of the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, which is operated as a museum and library owned by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The group has led the fight in the South for the proud display of the Confederate flag, which it contends is a symbol of heritage, not hate. Hardison said the battle flag currently on display hangs with other flags described in the diary of a North Carolina woman who visited the capitol in 1863. A large US flag displayed in the senate chamber is reminiscent of a trophy of war that was captured from Union troops at the Battle of Plymouth.

The presentation of the Confederate battle flag at state government buildings has long been an issue of debate throughout the American south. For more than a decade, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has urged its members to boycott South Carolina because of that state's display of the flag on the state capitol grounds. The North Carolina state historic sites director, Keith Hardison, said on Thursday that the flag should be viewed in its proper historical context. The flag will be on display for two years, while the 150th anniversary of the Civil War is recognized. The Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865.

Civil rights leaders have expressed concern over a Confederate battle flag that has been hung inside the old state capitol in Raleigh, North Carolina, to mark the sesquicentennial of the Civil War.

Ohio has been inhabited for thousands of years with the earliest residents being mound building cultures, such as the Hopewell and Adena People. During the 1600s, the Iroquois Indians moved to the land and were followed by tribes such as Delaware, Shawnee and Miami. The first European to arrive to the area was French Explorer Robert De La Salle in 1669, when he claimed the land for France. During the 1700s, British colonists began arriving to the area in search for land and conflict began between the French and the English, which led to the French and Indian War in 1754.

Our outdoor state flags are finished with a canvas header and brass grommets and are offered in five sizes: 2ft. x 3ft., 3ft. x 5ft., 4ft. x 6ft., 5ft. x 8ft., and 6ft. x 10ft., to fit any sized flagpole. Typically, outdoor flags are flown outside of government organizations and institutions on in-ground and wall-mount flagpoles, however, some people also buy these flags to display their state pride at home. If you are looking for a wall-mount Ohio flag set to display outside of your home, our Build Your Own Outdoor State Flag Set program will allow you to choose between premium quality 6ft. poles and brackets to display the Ohio Flag on your front porch.

"That flag does not represent our democracy," Barber said. "It represents division. Underneath that flag, bodies were hung. People were terrorized. The people who marched under that flag deliberately violated the fundamental principles of freedom in our Constitution, to keep radical discrimination in place. It should come down."

In 1763, the English defeated the French during the war and took control over Ohio. In 1783, following the Revolutionary War, Ohio became part of the United States of America and in 1787, the Northwest Territory was created that included Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The first permanent settlement was established in 1788, called Marietta (after Marie Antoinette) and on March 1st, 1803, Ohio officially became the 17th state of the United States of America.
