Happy Belated 4th of July to everyone! Due to the holiday, there was not a lot going on at the Museum this week, however, today is a very special day! Born on July 5th, 1810, P. T. Barnum turns 203 years old today! Although he doesn't look a day over 107....

Barnum was born in the small town of Bethel and slowly but surely grew up and became the man that we all know today. Without many of his accomplishments, and yes failures, i am sure that life as we know it would be very different. 

So from all of us here at the P. T. Barnum Museum, we wish you Happy Birthday Mr. Barnum!
