Betsy Ross House

Legend has it that this is where the first US flag was made, although most historians doubt it – and it's pretty certain that the actual house Ross lived in was next to this one. Even so, it's a highly popular tourist stop. You get to meet "Betsy Ross" herself: ask her questions and watch her work on a flag.

The tour has a fun "history mystery" game for kids, as well.
