Betsy Ross House
The widow Ross, a staunch patriot, is credited with sewing the first American flag. Although scholars dispute this, the small house where she lived is now a museum that provides an insight into the lives of working-class people in the colonial era, as well as the history of the flag. It’s worth paying a little extra for the 25-minute audio tour that provides a detailed history of the house and of Betsy’s life.
