The American Flag Project Continues

The Cherokee Historical and Preservation Society is proud to launch The Gaffney American Flag Project. In partnership with the City of Gaffney Fire Department and Gaffney Embroidery, the project will help fund the Cherokee County Museum. Initially, we are beginning with the City of Gaffney coverage area but hope to expand the program into other fire department jurisdictions.
