A Stitch in Time - A Rhode Island PBS Original documentary - Directed by Jamie McGuire

While researching the 19th century flags recovered from a Grand Army of the Republic Post in Bristol, RI, the long-forgotten colonial "Byfield Flag" is rediscovered. Considered to be the oldest known complete flag in America and in remarkable condition for its age, the flag undergoes delicate conservation under the eye of expert textile conservator Maria Vazquez, while historians piece together the story of the artifact's journey from the First Company of Bristol County Militia in the 1690s to today, and examine its historically elusive owner, Col. Nathanael Byfield.
