Meet Betsy at two different stages of her life, along with Hannah Lithgow, who rented Betsy her rooms in the house. Talk to a young Betsy Ross while she secretly stitches the nation’s first flag in her bedchamber, away from the prying eyes of Loyalists. Then, meet Betsy Ashburn, the remarried upholsterer, now participating in even more rebellious activities – making musket cartridges for the Continental Army.
The fall season officially kicks off Friday, October 2, with the annual outdoor screening of George A. Romero’s cult classic Night of the Living Dead in the Betsy Ross House courtyard. Guests can arrive early for a special pre-show candlelit tour of the historic House before settling in under the stars for the iconic 1968 horror film. BYOB and snacks to enjoy during the film.
