The 2004 Excelsior
Sesquicentennial Banner was compiled by Mark
Kelly. -
The
Excelsior Sesquicentennial Banner, all elements compiled
by Mark Kelly, is a 31-star flag reminiscent of the 1851
flag of the United States of America. The “Excelsior”
labeling is drawn from the original 1853 plat map of the
village of Excelsior. The steamboat illustrated is the
“Belle of Minnetonka,: which held some 1500 passengers,
circa 1883.
