Betsy Ross House

Historic Philadelphia, Inc. (HPI) is a non-profit organization with a mission to make our nation’s history relevant, real, and fun by enlivening historic sites through storytelling, interactions, and education.

As part of this mission, HPI operates, maintains, and improves the Betsy Ross House, Franklin Square and Once Upon A Nation.

HPI was founded in 1994 by then Philadelphia’s Mayor and former Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell, and charged with marketing, promoting, and providing programming that would enliven Philadelphia’s Historic District and enhance the experience for area residents and visitors.
