Tom Thumb Day commemorates Charles Sherwood Stratton, a boy from Bridgeport, Connecticut, born January 4, 1838.
The son of a carpenter, at the age of four, Charles was only 25 inches tall and weighed a mere 15 pounds. In the beginning, his father was embarrassed by his son's stature, but when P. T. Barnum offered a substantial stipend for the young boy to join the circus, embarrassment gave way to pride.
The small boy became an overnight sensation, dubbed Tom Thumb by the showman, who continues to be remembered today on Tom Thumb Day.
