Description
Betsy Ross made her living by making flags, including the first Stars and Stripes here. The home itself is a Colonial-style house with period furnishings. The adjacent garden, Atwater Kent Park, has a fountain with a cat sculpture. It also features a small stage where a troupe of actors tell the story of Philadelphia's historical significance daily during the summer.
