Betsy Ross House

The Betsy Ross House is a historic 18th-century building traditionally identified as the upholstery shop where Betsy Ross lived and where she is said to have sewn the first American flag. The story linking Ross to the first flag was popularized by her grandson in the 19th century and is debated by historians due to limited contemporary evidence. The site operates as a museum interpreting colonial-era sewing, Ross's life, and the evolution of the flag's origin story.
