Bethel

Separated from Danbury in 1855, Bethel is known for it’s quaint walkable downtown area, home to many restaurants, shops, Metro North train station, and the only independent movie theater in the area.  One of Bethel's most noted sons is Phineas Taylor Barnum, born in 1810.  A small area, known as "P.T. Barnum Square", boasted an enormous bronze fountain donated by the "greatest showman on earth", until the Doughboy Statue replaced it.
