- The Betsy Ross House is a variation of a ‘bandbox’ style home, with one room on each floor accessible by a winding staircase that reaches from the cellar floor to the top.
- The house was, at various times, also occupied by a shoemaker, a shopkeeper, an apothecary, and of course, an upholsterer, among others.
- According to oral history, George Washington himself asked Betsy Ross if she could make the American Flag based on a sketch he provided (the original sketch featured thirteen red and white stripes and thirteen six-pointed stars) in 1776.
