Phineas Taylor (P.T.) Barnum
Born Bethel, CT 1810
"I was born and reared in an atmosphere of merriment my natural bias was developed and strengthened by the associations of my youth; and I feel myself entitled to record the sayings and doings of the wags and eccentricities of Bethel because they partly explain the causes which have made me what I am."
Dedicated by the Bethel Historical Society on the 26th of September 2010
