The Philadelphia Mint produces coins, as well as the medals given out by the government."

"Betsy Ross is a figure of American folklore and is credited as the designer of the American flag. While her exact role in that process is sometimes disputed, one thing for certain is that her home is one of the popular historic buildings in Philadelphia. Without wading into the historical debate, records show that she lived in the house or in the building adjacent to it."

"Betsy Ross has reached legend-status as the maker of the first ever US flag. Historians now debate the accuracy of the story but wander through the tiny rooms of Betsy’s 1740 home and learn why she took on the potentially treasonous task at the request of George Washington. It’s another of Philadelphia’s unique historical attractions."

"The Betsy Ross house sits on Arch Street, several blocks from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. The house is a landmark in Philadelphia and supposedly the site where the seamstress and flag-maker Betsy Ross (1752-1836) lived when she sewed the first American Flag."

The building’s design is based on Ericsberg Castle, Stockholm’s City Hall, and George Washington’s Mount Vernon home. Highlight: Among the collection is John Ericsson’s solar steam engine model."

"Telling the story of Swedes in America, the American Swedish Historical Museum appeals to tiny visitors, too, thanks to its Do You Know Pippi Longstocking?.

"Institute of Contemporary art was founded in 1963, and since its beginnings, it has been focused on discovering up-and-coming stars of the contemporary art world.
