goodlivingct Driving through Bridgeport. It’s a city rich of history. Gateway time 🌿✨ Standing tall at the entrance of Seaside Park in Bridgeport, the Perry Memorial Arch was completed in 1918 and designed by prominent architect Henry Bacon (also known for the Lincoln Memorial). The arch honours William H. Perry—a key local figure in industry and parks leadership—and serves as a grand granite welcome to one of the city’s most cherished green-spaces.   Credit: Wikipedia. 🧵 Elias Howe – Stitching History in Bridgeport Inventor of the modern sewing machine, Massachusetts-born Elias Howe Jr. (1819–1867) changed the course of home and industrial labor. His 1846 patent revolutionized clothing production, inspiring countless imitations—including the famed Singer machine. During the Civil War, Howe personally funded and served with the Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, even paying for soldiers’ uniforms and wages. In 1865 he built his factory right here in Bridgeport, CT, where a bronze statue now stands in Seaside Park honoring his legacy. The monument, completed in 1884, celebrates a man whose invention literally helped sew a nation together.📖 Credit: Adapted from Wikipedia 🎪 P.T. Barnum – Still the Showman of Bridgeport Best known as a legendary circus impresario, Phineas Taylor Barnum was also Bridgeport’s most influential resident—and even its mayor. In 1865, he donated the land that became Seaside Park, transforming former marshes and woodlots into America’s first marine “rural” park. Barnum envisioned the park as a gift to future generations—a place where people could stroll, swim, and celebrate life by the Long Island Sound. Today, his bronze statue overlooking the shoreline stands as a tribute to the man who turned his grand vision into Bridgeport’s most cherished landmark. 📖 Credit: Adapted from Connecticut Museum Quest / Wikipedia #perrymemorialarch #eliashowe #ptbarnum #barnumlegacy #sewingmachineinventor #didyouknow #locallegends #goodlivingct #explorebridgeport #fairfieldcounty #connecticuthistory #realtorlife #localrealestateagent #connecticutrealtor #topctagent
