In her captivating portrayal of Betsy Ross, historical presenter Michelle Gibbons brings to life the spirited seamstress credited with creating the first American flag. Weaving historical facts with vivid anecdotes, audiences will be transported to 1776 Philadelphia, where Ross' needlework became a cornerstone of American identity.
Join us as we celebrate America's Sesquicentennial by reflecting on Betsy Ross's legacy as a symbol of creativity and patriotism.
