was added to the property, and in 1974 the courtyard was renovated and a fountain added. In preparation for the United States Bicentennial, remains deemed to be those of Ross and her third husband, John Claypoole, were moved to graves in the courtyard. A private nonprofit organization, Historic Philadelphia, Inc., began leasing the property from the City of Philadelphia in 1995 and continues to manage the site to this day. The Betsy Ross House has long been the site of Philadelphia's observance of Flag Day.
