The case for the Betsy Ross flag’s legitimacy is one of inter-meshing legends — and it begins in Bridgehampton. Bridgehampton had a militia in 1775. John Hulbert, its leader, recruited 68 men.

In my short time visiting the Trustees’ office, my observations of the environment have been of confidence, encouragement, optimism and poise, paralleled with the respect for and recognition of a significant transition.
