I don't know the exact street, but if you enter thru the north gate then drive to the end of that road. There's a community center parking lot. Take a right on the street prior to the parking lot. The house is on a corner just prior to the end of the street. They are doing some landscaping and there is a sign for that. There is a flag pole in the front yard with an American flag. The confederate one is just below it. Several people have seen it, and this is how I heard about it. If it is not there now then they took it down.

As far as the comments the confederate flag not racist… Please don't insult our intelligence. I lived in Mississippi for many years, and yes it is very much a symbol of racism. If you don't believe that look up the articles of secession that each state who flew that flag during the Civil War wrote. In every single article of succession within the first paragraph is the word slavery. I'm really hoping this is a bridge too far for The Villages.
