in 1907 eben appleton, new york stockbroker and grandson of lieutenant colonel george armistead (the commander of fort mchenry during the 1814 bombardment) loaned the star spangled banner flag to the smithsonian institution, and in 1912 he converted the loan to a gift. appleton donated the flag with the wish that it would always be on view to the public. in 1994, the national museum of american history determined that the star spangled banner flag required further conservation treatment to remain on public display. in 1998 teams of museum conservators, curators, and other specialists helped move the flag from its home in the museum's flag hall into a new conservation laboratory. following the reopening of the national museum of american history on november 21, 2008, the flag is now on display in a special exhibition, "the star-spangled banner: the flag that inspired the national anthem," where it rests at a 10 degree angle in dim light for conservation purposes.
