When it comes to circus heritage, few states compare to Wisconsin. Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with archivist Peter Shrake from Circus World Museum as we explore Wisconsin's circus heritage. Over 100 shows emanated from within its borders. Communities such as Antigo, Wonewoc, Sparta, Racine and Janesville can all claim to be the hometown of a circus. Some circuses lasted only a few weeks, and others grew to be national icons. This event will prove to as magnificent as our states's circus history.When: Saturday April 18th @1pm.
