Her workshop at 239 Arch Street (now known as the Betsy Ross House) is a highlight on An American History Tour with tailor-made specialist, Bon Voyage. Starting in Philadelphia, the self-drive itinerary takes in the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina before ending in Washington, DC, covering all the essentials of the American story en route.
From walking streets once trod by George Washington to standing in the room where American Independence was declared, An American History Tour takes road-trippers to fabled sites from the USA's past. Of interest are Civil War battlefields, Amish Country and the Liberty Bell in Pennsylvania; Thomas Jefferson's mountaintop mansion in Virginia; and the historic, 250-room Biltmore Estate in North Carolina - still officially America's largest home. A few days exploring Washington's many monuments and museums (including the White House and Lincoln Memorial) completes the story.
Costing from £1,925 per person, An American History Tour can be fully tailor-made and includes flights, car hire, 14 nights' accommodation and a personalised road book complete with travel tips and directions.
