Celebrate Women’s History Month at the Betsy Ross House with special events, free with admission, all month long!

Meet the Women of the Betsy Ross House

March 22 | 11am – 3pm 

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. Meet the Women of the Betsy Ross House is included with House Tour admission.

Storyteller Saturdays

Saturdays in March | 11am – 3pm

Award-winning Once Upon A Nation Storytellers shed light on women’s contributions to our nation’s history that our history books missed.

History Maker Sundays

Sundays in March | 11am – 3pm

In honor of Women’s History Month, meet women from history each Sunday of the month, including businesswomen, abolitionists, and suffragists.

As always, meet Betsy Ross, herself, as she works in her upholstery shop. She can share the story of the first flag and so much more. She was a business owner, patriot, single mother, and entrepreneur and led a fascinating life during exciting times. Ask her all about it!
