Statue of P.T. Barnum
A statue of P.T. Barnum was in front of the Wisconsin State Historical Society building to announce the coming of the "Barnum Sideshow of the 19th Century" to the Circus World Museum at Baraboo. Leslie H. Fishel, Jr., left, director of the Wisconsin State Historical Society, and Joseph Mercedes, owner-operator of the side show, flank the statue. A two-horse carriage paraded the statue around the Capitol Square. |
