Betsy Ross House

Great old colonial house in the City of Brotherly Love. This has got to be one of the few that are left. One of the reenactors there on site told me, that many years ago when they were tearing down some of these colonial era houses, they hit it with a bulldozer, and instead of buckling, it just literally pushed it over. That is how well these houses were built. The reenactors on site really give you a sense that you just stepped back into time. Great living museum, awesome historical site.

Last summer, we, my wife and kiddos, visited Philadelphia and our first stop before getting our hotel. we stopped at the Betay Ross house. It was such an amazing experience, and the kids got to learn about American history directly from the source. The staff was extra helpful and very knowledgeable about the hiateou and the area. They recommended going and seeing other hiateoy items like Ben Franklin's gravesite and the local mint. More to come from this trip.

Loved being able to go all through the house. Great little gift shop and super friendly staff. Dire need of an umbrella as it was raining buckets, they had some. Just a note, somei tight fits and very steep windy stairs.
