The Museum is open May 1 thru Oct 31, usually 12 noon to 4 pm.

Earlier by arrangements.

In the summer they feature a live circus performance several times

a day over a certain two week period in July.

I have visited this museum three times and have taken over 100 photos

of the wagons, displays, and circus performances.

I am looking to returning in July of 2012 to visit again

and also to see the Circus Parade held in the town of Peru, Indiana

and hopefully attend the banquet for inductees into

next year's Circus Hall of Fame.
