Saturday, Jan. 31 – The Ringlings at Home
When the Ringling brothers came back to Baraboo each year in November after the circus season ended, they hunkered down for the winter, planning and preparing for the next season. For many years the brothers simply rented lodging for the few months that they were back in town. After several of the Ringling brothers married and started having children, they built homes for their families. Find out more about the Ringling homes and home life during this presentation.

This event is part of the Make Baraboo Your Winter Quarters promotion.
