The Betsy Ross House is a historic site believed to be the residence of Betsy Ross, who is often credited with sewing the first American flag in 1776. This modest brick home, built in the early 18th century, is now a museum showcasing her life and contributions to American history, filled with period furnishings and artifacts. Visitors can explore the rooms where Ross lived and worked, while costumed guides share stories about her life and the flag's symbolism. The house is located in the heart of Old City, a short walk from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, making it easy to incorporate into a historical tour of Philadelphia.
