The Betsy Ross Flag - America's Most Legendary Historic Flag
The Betsy Ross Flag is one of the most iconic flags in American history — not because of certainty, but because of story.
According to family lore from 1870, Betsy Ross sewed the very first Stars and Stripes for George Washington during the Revolution. While historians now agree there is no definitive proof she designed the original flag, Betsy Ross was indeed a skilled Philadelphia flag maker who produced flags for Pennsylvania's navy for over 50 years.
Modern scholarship credits Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, as the actual designer of America's first flag, authorized by Congress' Marine Committee on June 14, 1777. Yet, the Betsy Ross legend endures — thanks in part to patriotic storytelling, artwork from the 1893 Columbian Exposition, and generations of Americans who embraced the design as a symbol of unity and freedom.
This historic 13-star flag, arranged in a circle, represents the equality of the original thirteen colonies. Whether you fly it proudly, display it indoors, or collect it as a piece of Americana, the Betsy Ross Flag remains a timeless emblem of our nation's beginnings.
