BARNUM MUSEUM REVIEWS
Fantastic! And also free to visit! The actual full museum is currently closed, but they had a wonderful staff that were very well informed and a few exhibits that were very interesting! Definitely recommend visiting, especially after watching The Greatest Showman.
The tour girl has so much knowledge, and I had such an amazing time learning some of the real stories behind the Greatest showman movie.
While the amount of artifacts they have on display right now is small, the tour guides know so much about everything it doesn't seem like a small museum!! She was able to stop at each artifact and talk about them for a few minutes each, giving so much more information than I even knew was possible. I love how they embrace the success of the movie but also are able to describe the things that are incorrect from it. You could tell the ladies working here are honestly passionate about Barnum and it was great that all of the artifacts are 100% original. The magic of Barnum and would definitely recommend this little gem of a museum.

Elias Howe statue is the first statue erected in Bridgeport’s Seaside Park honors local industrialist and Civil War hero Elias Howe, Jr. Howe was known in Bridgeport for his patriotism during the Civil War. He enlisted as a private in the 17th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteer Infantry and donated money to help equip the unit. The monument was dedicated in 1884 to honor Howe, who invented the first practical sewing machine and built a Bridgeport factory to build the machines. The Howe statue faces southeast, toward the western end of the park (the Perry Memorial Arch is visible in the background of the first image in this post). Howe is depicted with a cane in one hand and a hat in the other.
