CIRCUS TIME: Baraboo Circus World Museum 1991: The Performance

Believe it or else, we are are still not finished with my trip to the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin back in '91. I have a couple more posts up my sleeve before we put this to bed. Every afternoon they hold a really nice performance under a 'big' top. Actually, the tent used for the performance is smaller that the real BIG Top and would have possibly been used as the wagon display or to house the horses. In any case it is still a pretty large affair. The show itself is a scaled-down version of the main shows one would see when the circus has come to town. It's still quite enjoyable though. So, with that being said - Enjoy! Opa Fritz

CIRCUS TIME: Baraboo Circus World Museum 1991: Miniature Circus Display

Well, I think I've shown all the wagon and truck and miscellaneous displays from my trip to the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin back in 1991 (if not I'll play 'catch-up' with another post) so today let's look at the wonderful miniature circus that was on display there. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

CIRCUS TIME: More Wagon Pics From Baraboo, Wisconsin 1991 - Pt 11 Wagon Odds-&-Ends

We're not quite through with Baraboo just quite yet. Today we'll look at some odds-&-ends photos of wagon details. Part of the museum's displays are carvings surviving from wagons that are now lost but one of the other things I found fascinating was the detail work that went into the wagons themselves. Some detail pics have already been shown here on the blog, these here were just random photos I took but never took notes as to what wagon they came from. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
