Gallipolis Elks #107 Helps To Restore "Old Glory" on Fortification Hill

Gallipolis Elks Lodge #107 donated $4,000 to help pay for the $8,000 restoration of the community flag pole located on Fortification Hill overlooking the City of Gallipolis and the Ohio River. 

The broken and eroded brackets on the flag pole have prevented the American flag from being displayed for the past several months and needed to be replaced. 

In cooperation between the City of Gallipolis and the Gallipolis Elks, the flag pole has been repaired and painted and the oversized American Flag is again flying over our city and the Ohio River. 

The American Flag flown from Fortification Hill is donated annually to the City of Gallipolis by the Gallipolis Elks and is a symbol of the collective pride to the citizens of Gallipolis.  The flag can be seen for miles while on the river and approaching Gallipolis by car.
