An Heirloom Tribute to Mississippi State Tradition

Celebrate the enduring spirit of Mississippi State University with the 2026 Mississippi State Bronze Collectors Ornament, the second release in this exclusive collectible series. Meticulously handcrafted in solid bronze by Wendell August Forge, this distinguished ornament pays tribute to the iconic Drill Field flagpole, a symbol that has stood at the heart of campus life for generations.

Located in the center of the historic Drill Field, the flagpole has long served as a landmark for students, alumni, and visitors. As America commemorates its 250th anniversary, this ornament honors both the nation's heritage and Mississippi State's connection to the Bicentennial celebration of 1976, when a special flagpole project was completed as part of the country's 200th birthday observance.

The rich warmth and lasting beauty of bronze enhance every detail of the design, from the proudly waving American flag to the surrounding campus architecture. Crafted to become a treasured heirloom, this ornament is a meaningful addition to any Mississippi State collection and a gift worthy of generations of Bulldog pride.

Whether displayed during the holidays or showcased year-round, this limited-edition bronze ornament serves as a lasting reminder of the traditions, memories, and history that make Mississippi State special.
