The Wilton Farm and Home Museum displays a life-size figure of Sylvia Hardy, a Maine woman who stood more than seven and a half feet tall and later toured with P.T. Barnum’s shows. The exhibit includes one of Hardy’s actual dresses, making her extraordinary height much easier to comprehend.
Filed under museums: small, specific collections run by people who care far too much.
