At the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House, you’ll find something quite rare. A fun-filled experience where you and your entire family will become part of one of the most important stories of our nation’s history – the sewing of the flag that inspired our National Anthem.

Here, you’ll meet Mary Pickersgill, the spirited woman who made the flag. You’ll learn what life was like in the 19th century and your kids can take part in activities that let them experience it for themselves.

July 22, 2019 – Please pardon our dust! The Flag House Preservation Project starts this week! You’ll see scaffolding and team from Stinebaugh Masonry at work over the next two weeks. The historic Flag House and the museum will remain open throughout. We look forward to sharing the progress of this project with you.
