No visit to Historic Philadelphia would be complete without a stop at the home of America's most famous flagmaker. The Betsy Ross House is located in the heart of Philadelphia's Most Historic Square Mile just blocks from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell.

Tour the authentic 18th century house, meet and interact with Betsy Ross herself and plan to spend some time relaxing in our shady courtyard where you can learn more about our nation's history from one of our Once Upon A Nation storytellers at the storytelling bench.

The Betsy Ross House offers military discounts! Present your military ID and get $1 off admission.
