Visiting Circus World Museum

A museum complex in Baraboo, Wisconsin, called the Circus World Museum, is devoted to the history of circuses. Throughout the summer, the museum presents daily live circus performances in addition to circus relics and displays. The non-profit Circus World Museum Foundation runs it; the Wisconsin Historical Society owns it. From 1963 through 2009, the museum was a key participant in the Great Circus Parade.

The Circus World Museum, which is in the little town of Baraboo, is a great place for children of all ages to go to learn about what a professional circus does on a daily basis. The museum offers many intriguing displays and exhibits with a focus on the nation's rich circus history, which was formerly one of the top entertainment enterprises in the country.

The museum reportedly houses the greatest collection of circus-related memorabilia in the entire world, including posters and parade wagons. There is a big top in the summer that hosts regular events, including classic circus acts (check their website for scheduled performances). Given that it once served as the home of the enormous Ringling Brothers Circus, Baraboo is perfectly suited to house this museum.
