The Progress Flag Field honors the legacy of Frederic Palmer and Howard Metzger, who created a welcoming space for friends, family, and the LGBTQ+ community. This installation serves as a place for reflection, with each flag representing the diverse identities within the community. It honors those who fought for equality and celebrates unity, resilience, and the importance of safe spaces.

Sponsor a Flag, Share a Story
Each Progress Flag in our field represents a powerful act of love, remembrance, or hope. Whether you're celebrating someone's journey, honoring a life lost, or standing in solidarity with those still seeking acceptance, your sponsorship helps build a visible, vibrant symbol of support. Dedicate your flag with a name, a memory, or a message — every story matters.
 
On Display June 1-July 31 from dawn to dusk at the Palmer-Warner House. Purchase tickets to tour the house here.
