Ela costurou ou não costurou a primeira bandeira americana?
Visitors can get the answer to that question — and learn all about America’s most famous flag maker — at the Casa Betsy Ross, located in Philadelphia’s Historic District.
Betsy Ross was a political rebel, a colonial businesswoman and a mother. She took a stand during a time when women were forbidden to take part in democracy. Generations later, her story would inspire suffragists to sew a star on a flag each time a state voted to grant women the right to vote.
Wander through the charming rooms and winding staircases of the circa-1740 residence on a self-guided tour, then talk to Betsy herself about her role in the American Revolution and her fascinating work and life.
Read on for a guide to the Betsy Ross House — and to learn more about Betsy herself.
On the self-guided tour of the Casa Betsy Ross, guests can explore:
Family treasures throughout the Betsy Ross House include her family bible (restored in 2019), her eyeglasses and the historic sewing table Betsy may have used to stitch the very first American flag, now part of the museum’s permanent collection.

Audio guides are available (for an additional fee), including a special version just for kids, where children learn more about life among the working class in 18th-century Philadelphia while also solving a number of “history mysteries.”
The attraction also hosts numerous events throughout the year. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, kids can help Betsy raise the American flag during a daily hoisting of Old Glory. And during the summer months, Contadores de histórias do Once Upon A Nation se divertir no pátio durante o dia.

The raging Revolutionary War created many widows.
Betsy Griscom Ross Ashburn Claypoole ultimately lost three husbands (two during the war), but unlike many widows who were left without resources, her skills as a seamstress enabled her to support herself and her seven children.
Ross morreu aos 84 anos de idade em 1836. Ela e seu terceiro marido, John Claypoole, estão enterrados no jardim no pátio externo de sua casa em Distrito histórico da Filadélfia.
