Betsy Ross House - disputed flag-making claim

The Betsy Ross House is a house museum traditionally associated with Betsy Ross and the creation of an early American flag. The site, at 239 Arch Street, interprets Ross's life and 18th-century domestic trades for visitors and school groups. Historians debate the documentary evidence that Ross stitched the first U.S. flag, and that dispute is noted in scholarly literature and museum discussions. The house remains a local touchpoint for Revolutionary-era interpretation in Old City.
