The Betsy Ross House sits on Arch Street in Philadelphia's Old City, a small brick dwelling that has long been linked to the making of the first American flag. Family tradition holds that Betsy Ross, an upholsterer, sewed the flag in 1776 at the request of a committee that included George Washington, though historians have never fully confirmed the story. Whatever its origins, the house became a shrine to the flag in the late nineteenth century and remains one of the city's most visited historic sites.
