An American Legend

Did Betsy Ross really sew the first American flag? In a fast-paced conversation with Lisa Moulder, director of the Betsy Ross House, we learn about an "ordinary woman" who navigated terrible loss, confronted potential treason, and fought near destitution with her weapon of choice: a needle and thread. Was Betsy THE ONE who sewed the first-ever American flag? Hear her incredible story and decide for yourself whether we should consider her a colorful part of American folklore or a true American legend.

Jenna and Lisa, I enjoyed this interview so very much. As a native Philadelphian, The Betsy Ross House has always had a special place in my heart. Both my grandmother, who was born on the Atlantic Ocean, and her mother, were seamstresses. I have never had a doubt that Betsy sewed that first flag. I plan to revisit Betsy’s house this fall with open eyes. Thanks to both of you for sharing this story. I plan to share it with my daughter and granddaughter. Happy Fourth!
