ServiceMaster of Great Bridgeport Provides Recovery to Barnum Museum

On June 24, 2010 an EF1 tornado touched down in the heart of Bridgeport wreaking havoc on the downtown area.  The Barnum Museum was not spared in its destruction, causing extensive structural and environmental damage to the historic landmark building and thousands of artifacts in the collection.

ServiceMaster of Greater Bridgeport is proud to assist the Barnum Museum in its recovery from this devastating storm.
