Museum of Colquitt County  History

Tour Page 6

As you leave the Early History Room and enter the 1800-1865 Room, the most prominent item on display is the plaque of names of the 70+ men who left Colquitt County to serve the Confederacy and died during the War Between the States. While many died from wounds, many more died from disease and privation. This is the only place in the County where these brave men are publicly recognized. The Five Flags of the Confederacy are shown here, (from left to right): The Bonny Blue, (sometimes referred to as the Secession Flag), the First National, the Battle Flag (over the memorial), the Second National and then the Third National. Included in this room are descriptions of each unit that served from the County along with a listing of the battles they were involved in.
