Author Conrade Hinds explores Ohio's circus industry. Discover why it became a backdrop for the American circus entertainment industry. Register for a Zoom link beginning May 25. Adult virtual event.

Learn about how and why Ohio was the winter headquarters for several grand skill circuses like the Sells Brothers of Columbus and the Robinsons of Cincinnati.

These shows toured 19th-century America and were considered the original greatest show on earth while the Ringling brothers were still boys in Wisconsin and P.T. Barnum was still operating a museum in New York.

This is a wonderful historical program for all!
