    US Civil War tartan?

    I have a friend who is asking if there is a tartan to commemorate the US Civil War. Does such a tartan exist?

    There is both a Federal & Confederate memorial tartans. The former was designed by a member of the Sons of Union Veterans, of which I am a member.

    Information on the Federal Memorial Tartan may be found here:

    You will need an Adobe reader to view it; it is the newsletter of the Dept. of Mass., SUVCW.

    Frugal Corner is weave the Confederate tartan for the SCV, it should be done soon.



    Here is a pic I took at the raising of the largest Confederate Battle flag 30' x 50'



    The pole stands 139', this was on flag day.


    Today for July fourth, we raised at 7:00 am a 30' x 20' Betsy Ross Flag



    This is the future site for a civil war memorial

    Here's a source for that Yankee Memorial Tartan:

    More often than not, if a tartan is available it can be had through The Scotweb Kilt Store, the banner link at the top right of the page you're looking at this very instant.
