Join us for this unique way to celebrate Valentine's Day! Hear a love story for the ages when you meet a young Betsy Ross just after her elopement with husband John. The program continues in the Historic House with a special, love-themed tour and a handcrafted cocktail or mocktail. One drink, a theatrical performance, and an after-hours historic house tour are included in the ticket price. Total experience is approximately 75 minutes.
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.
