Sunday September 19th, 2026 * 2:00 PM
Franklin County Historical Society is pleased to present tea with a Founding Mother: Betsy Ross
Betsy Ross will be portrayed by a reenactor from Historic Philadelphia:
“Betsy’s story is much more complex than simply being credited with making the first American flag.
Defying her Quaker upbringing, she eloped, made ammunition undercover during the Revolution, ran a business, and raised seven children as a widowed mother.
Topics: 18th Century; Revolutionary War; Religious freedom; and Women’s history.”
