St. Michaels has confirmed that it has a flag, but have no image, picture or documentation to send me.
Valentin Poposki, 2 June 2010

The town of Saint Michaels MD held a flag design contest in February 2019. Of the 17 entries received, the Flag Committee selected 4 entries as “outstanding” and to be put to a vote of town residents. The entry that received the most votes (39 of 104 votes) was the flag owned by the St. Michaels Museum. This flag had flown in the town and has elements that had been used for city stationary, police patches, and building markers. Most people had assumed that it was the town’s official flag, but it was not. Although the town had wanted to place its name on the flag, the Museum didn’t want the flag to be changed in any way. Therefore, the unmodified, Museum-owned flag was adopted as the official flag of St. Michaels in June 2019.

The flag can be purchased from this page of the Museum's website: https://stmichaelsmuseum.org/product/st-michaels-flag/

History of the flag, according to https://www.stmichaelsmuseum.org/product/the-official-flag-of-the-town-of-st-michaels-maryland:
“Designed by Ian C. MacCallum in 1967, the flag was adopted by the Commissioners of the Town of St. Michaels as the official flag of St. Michaels, Maryland in 1970. The copyright is held by the St. Michaels Museum at St. Mary’s Square.

The flag was originally designed in strict accord with the rules and language of heraldry as the seal of the St. Mary’s Square Museum. It refers to Saint Michaels-on-the-Waters with its sword of the Archangel Michael in the colors of Maryland with a background of white waves on water, referring to the narrow spit of land that St. Michaels sits on between the Miles River and San Domingo Creek. It is colored blue to recall the sailors’ wish for ‘fair wind and blue water.’”
