Waubeka, Wisconsin, celebrates Flag Day, an obscure holiday that marks the 1777 creation of the U.S. flag's design. Each June, locals honor the nation's enduring symbol, which commemorates the Continental Congress's decision on June 14, 1777, to determine the flag's composition: 13 stripes, alternating red and white, and 13 stars in a blue field. Flag Day, though not widely known, has its roots in this small Wisconsin town.
