Historic Ringlingville — Where It All Got Started
Elephant parade at historic Ringlingville This area on the north bank of the Baraboo River is home to the remaining
structures of the original Ringling Bros. Circus Winter
Quarters. Four of the buildings are open to the
public, and no trip to the museum is complete without
stopping in to see them. The buildings include the Ring Barn, Elephant House, Ringling Animal House and the Baggage Horse
Barn. Drop in for a self-guided tour and see
what hasn't been seen since the Ringling Bros. Circus
left Baraboo in 1918.
The Ringling Bros. Circus Winter Quarters is a National Historic
Landmark. National Historic Landmarks are "nationally
significant historic places designated by the Secretary
of the Interior because they possess exceptional value
or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage
of the United States."
