The Great Circus Train rolls across the Wisconsin River at Merrimac, Wisconsin with its colorful cargo of 75 grand old circus wagons headed for starring roles in The Great Circus Parade in Milwaukee. Some of the antique vehicles from the unsurpassed collection of the state-owned Circus World Museum at Baraboo, Wis. are more than a century old. |
Every year, the Great Circus Parade features over 60 historic circus wagons, selected from over 150 such wagons in the permanent collection of the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. With ornate wood carvings and no two alike, they are classic examples of American folk art. |
