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 Betsy Ross House presents an interactive courtyard experience featuring the iconic (and delightfully kitschy) 1970's film 1776: The Movie Musical. Offering a fun and engaging way to connect pop culture with history. Audience participation will make this a one-of-a-kind way to kick-off the July 4th holiday weekend!
