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

History Maker Saturdays

March 1, 8, 15, 22, & 29 | 11am – 4pm

In honor of Women’s History Month, meet women from history each Saturday of the month, including businesswomen, abolitionists, and suffragists. These history-making women will include colonial chocolate maker and business owner Mary Crathorne; Julia Stockton Rush, the young, opinionated wife of the renowned Dr. Benjamin Rush, who wove together the duties of motherhood and doctor’s wife with politics; or Elizabeth Drinker, a prominent Quaker in Colonial Philadelphia with no lack of opinions on everything from politics to vaccines.

Storytelling Sundays

March 2, 9, 16, 23, & 30 | 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.

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!
