🎌 The 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Flag is a reproduction of the original battle flag carried by the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War. The design features a bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and strength. Above the eagle is a ribbon inscribed with “L'Étoile du Nord” (French for “The Star of the North”), Minnesota’s state motto, surrounded by a semicircle of stars representing the Union. Below, a red banner reads “First Minnesota Volunteers.” The flag’s deep blue field and patriotic imagery reflect the regiment’s valor and loyalty during pivotal battles such as Gettysburg.

This reproduction of the 1st Minnesota flag, based on scans and archival pictures, preserves the historic details of the original regimental colors. The 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment is celebrated for its heroic charge on July 2, 1863, at Gettysburg—an act that helped secure the Union line at great cost. Today, the flag stands as a powerful symbol of Minnesota’s early statehood and enduring commitment to the Union during one of America’s defining conflicts.
