The Town of Jonesborough, the oldest in Tennessee, flies flags from the street light poles in the Historic Business District. The flags are flown in demonstration of our support for the US Military and our love of country. Our goal is to fly these flags continuously as long as the United States has troops in harms way. As a way to cover the cost of the flags, the town's Flag Committee offers the opportunity to individuals to adopt a flag that is flown on one of these poles. If someone adopts a flag they can dedicate it to an individual or group and a plaque is displayed on the pole where the flag is flown.
