Spend an evening with Betsy Ross at the Duportail House as she shares her life as an upholsterer, flag maker, and patriot in the bustling port city of eighteenth-century Philadelphia. Through her stories, you’ll step into the everyday world of a working woman during the Revolutionary era – a window into the labor and lives of women often left out of the history books, and a look at how national symbols and stories come to be created and remembered.
Betsy is brought to life by acclaimed living-history presenter Alisa Dupuy, whose portrayal draws on a distinguished career in education.
A celebrated French teacherin New Jersey’s Princeton Public School District from 1995 to 2025 and a former adjunct professor at Lafayette College, Alisa speaks five languages and presents programs for museums, historical societies, libraries, and special events all across the country.
Warm, engaging, and open to all ages – come meet a patriot, hear her story, and connect with a piece of living history.
