It's more than a museum dedicated to the woman who may have sewn our first flag. Museum has been upgraded and now has two interpreters there on the weekend. Museum also showcases working women shop owners who in the late 18th century made up 25 percent of the owners.

Just walk around philly and you'll come by this house where the first person who sew the flag lived. Too bad we weren't able to get it as it closes at 5 pm.

Great spot to visit 👏

Check online. I'm sure they have it posted
Not really, as the Arch Street is a one way street with only one lane. It has a limit parking on one side of the street and most of the time it is always full of sedans parked there the whole day. Tourists who come here usually walk, before or after visiting the independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. The easier spot for a bus would be at the Bourse Food Court on S 4th Street between Market Street and Chestnut Street. It is only 3 blocks away from Betsy Ross House. Bourse Food Court is considered one of the most visited places by tourists visiting Philadelphia. Come hungry to this court, I'll bet you wouldn't be dissappointed.
Definitely. There's several collectors that would pay a nice sum of money for historical furniture.
Аs far as I remember, there are no food joints on that block. But like John said, Market St, just 5 minutes walk away with many food options including and cheese steak.
She was born in Philadelphia in 1752 and died in Philadelphia in 1836. I cant find anything about her moving
The house is set back slightly from Arch St, buy there is a big sign that says Betsy Ross House right by the street. It's hard to miss.
The audio tour gives you information about all the different sites along the three floors. The self tour is a look and see. The audio tour has a lot more information. I would plan about 25 minutes.
Not at the site itself.
In year 1786 (10 years after the independence day) she, her husband John and their daughters lived on Second Street, Philadelphia. Where exactly she lived (after that) and died is still a matter of historical academic dispute. Betsy Ross died at the age of 84 (in 1836) and was buried with her husband John (who died 19 years earlier) in the Quaker Burial ground on N. 5th Street, Philadelphia. Their remains were moved to Mount Moriah Cemetery at S. 5th and Locust Street, Philadelphia in the year of 1856. On Monday, December 15, 1975 through Tuesday, December 16, 1975 the remains of Betsy Ross and John Claypoole were then exhumed and re-interred in the current courtyard adjacent to the Betsy Ross House at 239 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA.
You can purchase them online or at the Betsy Ross House nearby where the self guided tour begins.
Yes, open every day. Audio tours are $7 for adults, $6 for children/seniors/military/students. Self-guided tours are $5 for adults, $4 for children/seniors/military/students. They also do group tours, children's tours.
