@callcress: Tom Thumb’s Fairy Wedding Captivated Civil War America #ValentinesDay #lovestory #connecticut #History In 1863, America became obsessed with the “Fairy Wedding” of General Tom Thumb, a Bridgeport performer discovered as a child by P. T. Barnum. Thumb and 31-inch Lavinia Warren married before thousands in New York, hosted a lavish reception, and were even received by Abraham Lincoln. They went on to live extravagantly — with multiple homes, a yacht, and a Thimble Islands getaway — before Thumb’s early death at 45, memorialized in Bridgeport.

His childhood home was on North Avenue right across from Saint Patrick’s Church. It later became a flower shop.
