In this episode we discuss the Great Barnum Museum Fire. In the mid 1800s, it was unthinkable to visit New York City without a visit to Barnum’s American Museum. P.T. Barnum’s stunning building occupied a prominent corner on Lower Broadway at the corner of Ann Street from 1841 to 1865. Its massive size and impressive appearance was rivaled only by the wonders within. but on July 13, 1865 the American Museum burned to the ground in one of the most spectacular fires New York has ever seen.
