Flies Here

No high-flying flag here. The B. Free Franklin Post Office in Philadelphia, which is part of Independence National Historical Park, does not fly the U.S. flag. This office aims to recreate the atmosphere of a colonial-era Post Office, and the Stars and Stripes did not yet exist in 1775.
