There’s been a lot written about the great showman, PT Barnum. However, not much of it focuses on his upbringing in his hometown of Bethel, CT. In this first part of a two-part series, Bethel Town Historian Pat Wild and Danbury Museum and Historical Society Executive Director Brigid Guertin share some great stories that help us understand the particular influences that affected Barnum the most growing up. They’ll even talk about the time he spent in jail. A must listen for any fan of PT Barnum.
