The Royal Highland Emigrants were a regiment of British loyalists who served in Canada during the American Revolution.

The grant for the flag's conservation was recently awarded by the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, which involves entities in parts of New York, Vermont and Quebec. The amount of the grant hasn't been released.

The flag will be displayed for the first time in decades in a new exhibit when the fort opens in May.
