July 6, 1944. Nearly 7,000 people gathered under a circus tent in Hartford, Connecticut. When a fire broke out, the paraffin-coated canvas tent ignited instantly. Within minutes, the entire structure collapsed. 167 people died. One young victim remained unidentified for decades — known only as “Little Miss 1565.” History isn’t what you remember. #TheHistoryYouMissed #HartfordCircusFire #ForgottenHistory #AmericanHistory #hiddenhistory
