I know I read on line that Baraboo has a circus museum, but seriously, was this really a street scene in Baraboo, Wisconsin in 1915??????? That is when it is postmarked - April 16, '15
The picture is true, and it might well have been elephants instead of camels. Baraboo was home to the huge Ringling Bros Barnum and Bailey Circus, world's largest, and also to the Gollmar Circus. Ringlig boys raised here, started from scratch. Baraboo has rich circus heritge, and world's largest repository of circus memorabilia. Read up on us! DIZZ
The internet is fabulous! Who would have thought I'd get a reply so quickly! When I saw the post card I thought it must be a spoof of some kind, but I guess not! What a great history. Thanks so much. And I have to post anonymously because for some reason my comment id isn't working. The limits of the internet too! I hope to post a few more postcards of WI areas soon.
