A Museum Showcasing The Heritage of The Traveling Shows In Early America
Showcasing the history of the traveling shows that brought outdoor entertainment and a rich culture to the American scene from the late 1800's throughout the twentieth century.
Interactive exhibits, actual antique rides, games and shows plus thousands of antique photos and artifacts make up colorful examples of the midways of yesteryear.
