Naturalization Ceremony at the Betsy Ross House
What is a Naturalization Ceremony?
The Naturalization Ceremony at the Betsy Ross House is a special event where new American citizens take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. It's a moving and inspiring moment for these individuals, as they become official members of the nation.
Why at the Betsy Ross House?
The Betsy Ross House holds significant historical importance as the place where the first American flag is believed to have been sewn. It's a fitting location for a ceremony symbolizing citizenship and national unity.
