Circus World Museum

Right here in my home state of Wisconsin is a wonderful museum dedicated to celebrating the history of the circus. The Circus World Museum is located on the grounds of what was once the winter headquarters of the Ringling Brothers circus. The Ringling family grew up in Baraboo and continued to call it home, even as their circus became a national sensation. Although the headquarters eventually relocated to Florida, the tradition remains alive and well in Wisconsin. I recently visited the museum to explore its rich history and admire the colorful circus wagons housed there.
