Color photo is of actual Ringling Wardrobe from before 1918.
These pieces are from a collection about 3 times this large and have been saved and preserved by a local woman in Baraboo. She and her sister, in their youth, played around the abandoned Water Street Winterquarters and were given permission to remove unwanted materials, wardrobe. To our benifit these young ladies were able to save circus history for us to enjoy and learn from. This Wardrobe was on display last summer at the 125th Anniversary Ringling Celebration Exhibit in Downtown Baraboo created by the Friends of Circus World Museum and local circus enthusiasts.
