Unearth a Story: Meet Betsy Ross

In this presentation attendees will meet Betsy Ross (from American Historical Theater) the lady behind the myths, discover the history of the Flag as Betsy builds it up from its historical components, and they will have the opportunity to master her famous trick of cutting a five pointed star with one snip of the scissors. Young visitors will be trained as apprentices in Betsys shop. This story differs from, and is superior to, the myths that enshroud her true legacy. Hers is the story of a strong and independent woman who was willing to work hard and follow her own mind and heart at a time when women were expected to conform to tradition.
