BETSY ROSS HOUSE **__



 
 The Betsy Ross house was built 250 years ago. Betsy Ross resided in the house from 1773 to 1785. In 1876, the Mund family purchased the house and their business benefited from advertising that they were residing in the same house that Betsy Ross once lived. In 1898 a group raised money to buy the home from the Mund family. By 1937, the house was restored. By 1941, the property was given to the city of Philadelphia. In 1995, an organization, Historic Philadelphia, Inc., leased the property from the city of Philadelphia, and began managing the Betsy Ross House. They remain managing the historical home today.                                                                                         **__ LOCATION: __**    <span style="COLOR: rgb(73,35,14)">The Betsy Ross House is located at 239 Arch Street. media type="googlemap" key="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=239+Arch+Street,+Philadelphia,+PA&jsv=107&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=51.754532,106.171875&ie=UTF8&s=AARTsJpHY8vxmg3ACdruEpleMT4nrpuqoA&ll=39.952243,-75.144253&spn=0.000822,0.001878&t=h&z=19&iwloc=addr&output=embed" height="400" width="700"
