  • Jenny Lind's Visit to Elizabethtown, April 1851
    Jenny Lind’s visit to Elizabethtown, April 1851 Jenny Lind, the Swedish soprano, entertained the townspeople of Elizabethtown during a tour of the United States in April 1851. She had come to United States in September 1850, under a contract with P.T. Barnum to give 150 concerts for $1,000 dollars each. Jenny Lind, or the "Swedish nightingale," as she was known benefited from Barnum's skillful publicity that brought ex- cited crowds flocking to her concerts, and Lind's name was eventually tied to every kind of commodity, from songs to gloves, bonnets, chairs, sofas, and even pianos. Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891), or P.T. Barnum as he was known is one of the most colorful and well known per- sonalities in American history. A consummate showman and entrepreneur, Barnum was famous for bringing both high and low culture to all of America. From the dulcet tones of opera singer Jenny Lind to the bizarre hoax of the Feejee Mermaid, from the clever and quite diminutive General Tom Thumb to Jumbo the Elephant, Barnum's oddities, Barnum in 1851, just spectacles, galas, extravaganzas, and events tickled the before he went on tour fancies, hearts, minds and imaginations of Americans of all with Jenny Lind. ages. On April 4, 1851, after giving a concert in Nashville, Ms. Lind embarked by stagecoach on her journey to Louisville. The trip over the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike required three days. During the trip, while horses were being changed and during overnight stops, she graciously enter- tained the local residents. The night of April 4th was spent at Bell’s Tavern (now Park City).
