Welcome to Mystic Liberty Pole and Park
and
The Mystic Flag Committee
For over 160 years, the Mystic Liberty Pole and Liberty Pole Square have served as a gathering place that reflects our shared history, civic pride, and commitment to preserving this important landmark for future generations.
Welcome to the website for the Mystic Flag Committee, a non-profit organization made up of resident volunteers, which has oversight of Mystic’s historical Liberty Pole and Liberty Pole Square. We also oversee the placement of American flags along the sidewalks of Mystic on major holidays, with the faithful assistance of Scout Troop 76.
Our tall flagpole is located at the junction of Route 1 and Holmes Street in downtown Mystic, with the adjacent Liberty Pole Square – a small park located next to S & P Oyster Restaurant and Bar. It features a historical anchor from a lumber schooner which sank off Cape Cod in 1897, as well as two informational plaques and a monument of major contributors who helped make the Square a reality.
Repairs and maintenance expenses are covered through the contributions of residents and businesses throughout the community. The Mystic Flag Committee is a non-profit organization, and all donations are tax deductible.
