Who doesn’t love a circus! Join us today as we tour the French Lick West Baden Museum along with the Hagenbeck Wallace Circus Museum. Circus Day is an annual event held each June to honor the 86 circus performers who were killed in the tragic great train wreck of 1918. The museum has the World’s Largest Circus Diorama. The amount of circus memorabilia is mind blowing.
We learn the history of French Lick Springs Hotel and the West Baden Springs Hotel. French Lick is also the home of Larry Bird! The museum has a lot of his memorabilia as well.
There are vendors and circus performers who perform throughout the day.
Come one come all! Let’s join the circus 🎪

How neat, that is a lot to do in that town. The circus 🎪 were so fun to go to when we were kids. But times change and you hardly see them anymore.

The only thing we knew about French Lick was that it was the hometown of Larry Bird. We had not heard about the tragedy of this circus train wreck. Very sad. I love the circus diorama. We miss the circus. It was very cool that you got to see some circus performers in action. We enjoyed seeing some circus history with you. Thanks for sharing it!

We enjoyed the circus museum tour and festival, Terri, Keith and Josh. You know as I'm watching, I'm drinking mineral water! 🤣🤣 You'll understand if I disappear for a little while? The train wreck was tragic. The diorama was amazing! We enjoyed hearing about and seeing the wagon. But keep the 🐍away from me too! Fun tour. Thanks for bringing us along.

It was a fun day but sweltering hot! Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend Dave & Kathy! We drank from the Fountain of Youth in St Augustine & it had the same effect 😅

That wagon’s amazing. It reminds me of some of the coaches I saw in the Lisbon Coach Museum (from horse-drawn days).

That museum looked nice 😊 I marked on my map 👍 to bad I didn’t know about the fair I would have gone. It’s weird that it was empty 🤪 I think I went to a tractor show that weekend and it was busy and hot 🥵
