CAVENDISH, Vt. – Whether she did or didn’t contribute to the American flag, Betsy Ross deserves to be known in her own right, not only as a flag maker but also for her role in the Free Quaker movement, as a “wise woman,” as a business woman who launched a successful business that lasted for more than 50 years, and as a rebel in the American Revolution.
In celebration of Flag Day, the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) will be holding a talk on Betsy Ross on June 14, at 2 p.m., at the Cavendish Stone Church, 2295 Main Street. This is a good opportunity to see inside this church, built in 1844, as well as learn about the amazing life of Ross, and have an opportunity to make a five-pointed star in one snip.
