A rainy day

​A rainy, cool day and so what else – go to a museum. Circus World is owned by the Wisconsin Historical Society and is located a few miles south of Wisconsin Dells in the town of Baraboo. The Ringling Brothers were from Baraboo and started their circus here. It was the circus’ winter quarters until they bought the Barnum and Bailey Circus in the early 1900s. Many other circuses also called Baraboo home. In fact, the number of Wisconsin circuses was astonishing. The Ringling buildings form the basis of this museum. They now have lots of circus memorabilia, including more that 9,000 posters, some neat small dioramas, and hundreds of circus wagons, many of which are on display. A little quirky, but it was a great place to spend a few hours.

Then, a relaxing time at the Balancing Rock Winery for tasting and snacks. The wines were good enough that we bought a few bottles to bring home. Wisconsin wines, indeed.
