  • The Betsy Ross House is a landmark in Philadelphia purported to be the site where the seamstress and flag-maker Betsy Ross (1752-1836) lived when she is said to have sewed the first American Flag. The origins of the Betsy Ross myth trace back to her relatives, particularly her grandsons, William and George Canby, and the celebrations of the Centennial of 1876. Evidence for the precise location of Ross's home came from verification provided by several surviving family members, although the best archival evidence indicates the house would have been adjacent to the one that still stands today as The Betsy Ross House. The 1937 Philadelphia Guide noted that, after the current Betsy Ross House was selected as the Flag House, the adjacent building where Ross may have indeed lived "was torn down to lessen the hazards of fire, perhaps adding a touch of irony to what may well have been an error in research." Although the house is one of the most visited tourist sites in Philadelphia, the claim that Ross once lived there, and that she designed and sewed the first American flag, sometimes called the Betsy Ross flag, are considered false by most historians. The house sits on Arch Street, several blocks from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The front part of the building was built around 1740, in the Pennsylvania colonial style, with the stair hall and the rear section added 10 to 20 years later. Had she lived here, Ross would have resided in the house from 1776, the death of her first husband, John Ross, until about 1779. (en)
  • La Casa de Betsy Ross (Betsy Ross House) es un hito de interés en la ciudad de Filadelfia, Estados Unidos, donde supuestamente vivió la costurera y fabricante de banderas Betsy Ross (1752-1836) cuando se dice que cosió la primera bandera estadounidense. Los orígenes del mito de Betsy Ross se remontan a sus familiares, en particular a sus nietos, William y George Canby, y las celebraciones del primer centenario de la Guerra de Independencia de 1876.​ La evidencia de la ubicación precisa de la casa de Ross provino de la verificación proporcionada por varios miembros de la familia sobrevivientes,​ aunque la mejor evidencia de archivo disponible indica que la casa se habría encontrado situada adyacente a la que todavía se conserva hoy como la Casa de Betsy Ross.​ Aunque la casa es uno de los sitios turísticos más visitados de Filadelfia,​ la mayoría de los historiadores consideran falsa la afirmación de que Ross vivió allí, así como la historia de que ella diseñó y cosió la primera bandera estadounidense, a veces llamada la bandera de Betsy Ross.​​ La casa se encuentra en Arch Street, a varias manzanas del Independence Hall y la Campana de la Libertad, en Filadelfia, Pensilvania. La parte frontal del edificio se construyó alrededor de 1740, en estilo colonial de Pensilvania, con el pasillo de la escalera y la sección trasera añadida de 10 a 20 años después. Si hubiera vivido aquí, Ross habría residido en la casa desde 1776, la muerte de su primer esposo, John Ross, hasta aproximadamente 1779.​ (es)
