Baraboo, Wisconsin, was the headquarters and winter home of the famous Ringling Brothers circus.
The Ringling Brothers held their first circus in 1884. In 1919 they merged with the Barnum & Bailey Circus and moved their winter headquarters to Connecticut.
The old grounds and buildings are now a living museum and some of the original hand-painted signs are still visible.
And here are a few ghost signs from downtown Baraboo.
