The Birth of Old Glory, c. 1917
by Edward Percy Moran
Buried at the Betsy Ross House
- On 14-Jun-1777 the United States adopted a national flag with 13 stars and stripes.
- There is no evidence that Betsy Ross designed the flag. It was probably designed by New Jersey lawyer Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
