History

Confederate battle flag

The park was opened in 2008 and was funded by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The park features a large 60-by-30-foot (18.3 m × 9.1 m) Confederate battle flag,^[2] which is claimed to be the 2nd largest Confederate flag in the world.^[3] During the anti-racist protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd, the flag was removed after threats to burn it were made on social media.^[4][5] It was later reinstalled.
