International Circus Hall of Fame

Mission Statement:

The Circus Hall of Fame inspires an understanding of the circus through exhibits, publications, and outreach.

We aim to preserve the National Historic structures, artifacts and documents that tell the story of the circus as a performing art and a culture institution in Indiana and the United States.

About Us:

The International Circus Hall of Fame is a Museum filled with circus artifacts, costumes, circus posters, Heralds, Photographs and films, route cards and route books and numerous old circus wagons. All of this is found inside five of the original circus winter quarters buildings built by the American Circus Corporation in 1922. They are all designated as National Historic Landmarks.
