239 Arch Street, Philadelphia
Many of us know about the Betsy Ross House, but have never stopped by for a visit. Now is your chance. The Betsy Ross house - the former home of Betsy Ross, a flag maker who stitched flags for the government for over 50 years and is believed to have sewn the first American flag - is dedicated to telling Betsy's story along with the stories of other women throughout history. During our tour we will learn about Betsy's life as a businesswoman and working mother in early America. As we journey into this over 250 year old house, we'll be told the story behind the first Stars and Stripes, which Congress adopted as the country's official national flag on June 14, 1777. And our visit is timed to take advantage of the home's Flag Day Week festivities. You can spend the entire day enjoying historic Philadelphia as we have scheduled a visit to Independence Hall later that afternoon. A separate registration is required. Please note that cancellations with refunds are accepted through June 7th. Should you need to cancel by that date, a credit will be posted to your TTN account for future use.
