Tom and Lavinia's Fairy Wedding

March 5, 2013

Had a great time at the Barnum Museum's 150th anniversary of the "Fairy Wedding" of Tom Thumb (Charles Stratton) and Lavinia Warren. We had tea, listened to the Weston High School orchestra sing Tom Thumb songs, and listened to a lecture on the fashion impact of Lavinia's wedding dress.


Next up - my own lecture on Tom Thumb's World Travels!

I've pointed the direction of this travel blog toward life in Connecticut: its history and its food, its culture and its lifestyle. Join me as I explore the myth of home, something too often lost in our nomadic world.
