Betsy Ross House

Here is the home of Betsy Ross. It is an odd shape because it was once part of a long row of homes like in other parts of Philadelphia. We learned a lot of interesting things about Betsy Ross. She was a business woman, an upholsterer, for 50 years. When she was asked to make a flag for the new country it was her first flag. George Washington wanted to have 6 pointed stars on the flag, but she showed him that she could make 5 pointed stars faster and easier with one cut of the cloth saving time and money in making flags.
