This is one of the antique band wagons from the Circus World Museum in Baraboo Wisconsin. It's from prior to 1900 and it would carry the band on top as the circus arrived in a new town.
Wow, it's good to see that someone took care of this piece of circus history. You did a great job, in photographing this. I love the colors and the way the sun is hitting it.
I really like that wagon Kathy! Very unique and too bright of color to ignore! Reminds me of the circus that used to come every year. I would always get a lizard that had a string around its neck and you could pin it to your shirt. I miss the old circus's. Your photo is nice and clear and good detail work! Thanks for this very nice photo and the history! Allen
