Get a Bargain

The Betsy Ross House is still the best bargain in town. Spend the day with us this spring, enjoying our free programming. After your tour of the House (just $3 for adults and $2 for kids), grab a seat and some lunch in our shady courtyard and meet a Revolutionary War soldier, see a crafter at work and more ... a big day for a small price!

Play Ball!

Come see our brand new exhibit, Play Ball: A History of Baseball in Philadelphia presented by Mitchell & Ness in cooperation with the Philadelphia Phillies.
