DEANE CENTER’S HISTORY COMES ALIVE SERIES TO CONTINUE WITH JILL LAWRENCE AS BETSY ROSS THIS COMING WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15
Wednesday, March 15 at 7 p.m. in the Coolidge Theatre at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro, the Deane Center’s History Comes Alive Series will continue with Jill Lawrence portraying Betsy Ross, the woman who designed and made the first American flag.
After the performance, the audience will be invited to ask Lawrence questions.
Betsy Ross was an American upholsterer who was credited by her relatives in 1870 with making the first official U.S. flag known as the Betsy Ross flag.
Most historians dismiss the story but Ross family tradition holds that General George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and two members of a congressional committee—Robert Morris and George Ross—visited Mrs. Ross in 1776.
Mrs. Ross convinced George Washington to change the shape of the stars in a sketch of a flag he showed her from six-pointed to five-pointed by demonstrating that it was easier and speedier to cut the latter. There is no archival evidence or other recorded verbal tradition to substantiate the story of the first U.S. flag, which apparently surfaced in the writings of her grandson in the 1870s.
Ross made flags for the Pennsylvanian navy during the American Revolution. After the Revolution, she made U.S. flags for over 50 years, including 50 garrison flags for the U.S. Arsenal on the Schuylkill River during 1811.
