Jo’ann,

Yes, I would suggest donating it to the Ringling Circus Museum in Sarasota, Florida. I’ll email additional information to you.

My father worked as a roustabout for Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey circus from 1948 to 1953?. He made a scrapbook with circus newspaper articles, tickets, schedules for shows and programs ( just the front covers). I know there is an article about Gargantua. Is there any place I can donate this scrapbook to? I hate to have it just sitting in a closet and I know he would have liked it to be appreciated.

Hi Jennifer
My Great Grandfather George owned and performed in The Harmston Circus. I would like if possible to obtain copies of the memorabilia or alternatively I would be very interested in purchasing your collection if you intend to sell. I have an extensive collection of memorabilia from when our circus was founded in the 1800′s to its demise in 1936. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards
Tony

Jennifer,

It seems to be a very interesting grouping of circus memorabilia. If you are looking to donate it, the the State of Florida’s Ringling Circus Museum in Sarasota would be an excellent home for the collection.

I have circus memorabilia from Harmston’s Royal Menagerie and Circus. This includes posters, photos and twenty years of correspondence between Clarence Bruce and a man in Kansas. The whole package dates from 1905 through about 1920.
