Betsy Ross House

Located in Old City on Arch Street, between 2nd and 3rd, is the Betsy Ross House.  Most Americans know this woman from their history classes, as she was the designer of the original flag for the United States.  She was a Free Quaker and part of the resistance to the British during the Revolutionary War.

The house has very narrow passageways and staircases, as it was built more than 250 years ago. Unfortunately, no photographs are allowed inside the house, so you'll have to visit it to see for yourself.

In the courtyard is the current grave of Betsy Ross as well, even though she was originally buried elsewhere.
