Today in history: Civil War veterans carry the Minnesota regimental flags from the old state capitol to Cass Gilbert's magnificent new building on Capitol Hill, June 14, 1905. The 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment saved the Union lines during the battle of Gettysburg.

Crowds gather on the steps of the new Minnesota State Capitol to welcome the arrival of the regimental flags. Flag day, 1905.
