The Betsy Ross House, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

- History & Culture travel tip
- City center
by The Betsy Ross House is quite small, with a little souvenir shop and a courtyard where some historical facts are related to the visitor and sometimes colonial actors give a performance of everyday-life of a colonist.
The only drawback I could find regarding this historical sight is that being such a famous location and the house itself being so small, it becomes pretty crowded inside and you can’t navigate between the rooms easily. Apart from this, it was a house worth visiting, at least for an update on early American history.
Address:
239 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA
Opening Hours:
Open Tue-Sun 10am - 5pm
How to get there:
North from the historic district. Follow the signs.
