     The Fort Bedford Flag (on display in the museum) was donated to the forces at what was then called Fort Raystown by the Fourth Duke of Bedford, England. Fort Raystown was renamed Fort Bedford in honor of the Duke between November 28th and December 14th, 1758, after the flag was received. St. George's Cross sets in the upper left hand corner of a red field. The Fort Bedford Flag hung in an officer's quarters and was only brought out on special occasions.
