The Avenue of the Flags is an organization that was formed to preserve and honor the memory of Lake County veterans. Twice a year on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day dedicated individuals and groups from various Lake County communities come together and fly more than 1,500 flags at four cemeteries: Hartley Cemetery in Lakeport, Upper Lake Cemetery, Kelseyville Cemetery and Lower Lake Cemetery. These flags once draped the caskets of fallen veterans and have been donated by the veteran’s family.
“The sight of the rows of flags flying is both inspiring and breath taking,” said Robin Humphrey of the organization. “The Avenue of Flags is a patriotic feature at the cemeteries that reinforce patriotism, national pride and represent a visible, bold and proud display of the flags Help us honor our Lake County veterans by supporting the Avenue of the Flags.”
If you would like to make a donation send it to: The Avenue of the Flags, P.O. Box 980, Lower Lake, CA 95457.
The Bachelor Valley Grange hall is located at 9355 Government St. in Upper Lake.
