Built in 1740, this nine-room house was occupied by Betsy Ross and her husband John from 1773 to 1786. At the turn of the century two million Americans donated dimes to help restore the house. In 1937 the building was donated to the City of Philadelphia with restoration work undertaken again with the financial assistance of radio pioneer, Atwater Kent. Today the home of the maker of the first American Flag is visited by some 250,000 people annually.
Born Elizabeth Griscom, Betsy was the eighth child of seventeen in a family of Quakers. Following an education in a Friends (Quaker) school, Betsy did an apprenticeship as an upholsterer, which in that day performed a wide variety of tasks involving sewing, including flag-making.
During her apprenticeship she fell in love with John Ross, an Episcopal. They eventually eloped, an act for which Betsy suffered severe consequences. The Quakers, considering interdenominational marriages to be bad, "read" Betsy "out" of the Quaker meeting house, cutting her off completely from both her religious community and her family. Only three years later she lost John to an explosion as he guarded an ammunition cache for the Pennsylvania Militia.
Betsy was chosen by the 1776 Congressional Committee on flag design to make the first Stars and Stripes. The Committee consisted of George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross, whom Betsy met in her house.
