“We regret to announce that Lee Chapel and Museum will be closed from Friday, July 25 at 3:00 p.m. through Sunday July 27.. This unscheduled closing is based on concerns for the safety of the facility and its staff on the day that the Sons of Confederate Veterans have scheduled a rally in Lexington. We must take this unfortunate precaution because of the inflammatory and threatening letters, emails and phone calls the University has received in response to the removal of reproduction battle flags from the statue chamber in Lee Chapel and the decision to bring authentic battle flags to the Lee Chapel Museum. We apologize for this inconvenience.”
REMINDER: The Va Flaggers have called for and observed a TOTAL boycott of Lexington, Va, following the September 1, 2011 flag ban ordinance by Lexington City Council that prevents the flags of Lee and Jackson from flying on City flag stands during the Lee-Jackson holiday. PLEASE make arrangements so that NOT ONE DIME is spent within the city limits. When you come, pack in food, or eat outside the city limits. Stop by the Visitor's Center, sign the guest book, and tell them WHY you won't put any money into Lexington's coffers.
We have also been asked about what flags we suggest to bring. While any Confederate flag is suitable, we would suggest carrying Army of Northern Battle Flags, if possible, during the protests in Lexington, as the flags removed from the chamber at the LEE Chapel were ANV Battle Flags.
