Community Engagement Message from the Executive Director

Greetings Everyone, and Happy Mother’s Day!

Yet another week has gone by and I hope you all remain well and healthy and looking forward to Mother’s Day Weekend!  Absolutely!  Mom deserves an entire weekend of celebration!  Despite the pending May snow forecast upon us, I hope you can create joyful ways to commemorate all the mothers in your life who have inspired you, comforted you, and given you encouragement to press onward through challenges…challenges like getting through another day of quarantine.  If you can, give her a big hug.  If you can’t, let her know she’s getting a big “virtual hug” with a real one on the way soon.  Both versions will mean the world to her!

From everyone at the Barnum Museum, we wish you a wonderful weekend and we hope you’re enjoying our mini-series of Mr. Barnum’s and Tom Thumb’s traveling adventures through France!  Our next installment is below, and you can also find the series posted to our website’s Blog page.

Jusqu’à ce que nous nous revoyions,
Restons bien, restons forts!

Kathleen Maher,
Executive Director
