Historic Sites Focus on Winter Conservation— and 2010
Preparing a Hearthside Dinner
With the close of another season of living history, staff of the Society's historic sites now focus on conserving their collections for winter storage and planning for the 2010 season. At Wade House, the 1860s stagecoach inn and its associated attractions have closed for the season, but will reopen for a series of Saturday Hearthside Dinners. Visit the Wade House website for complete details.
At Circus World in Baraboo, some changes have been made to the circus museum's business model that meet two primary goals: to maintain access for researchers to the Robert L. Parkinson Library and Research Center, the world's foremost research facility for circus history; and to prepare for another exciting performance season in 2010 to continue the site's tradition of interpreting and encouraging appreciation of circus history. The library and research center will be open year-round by appointment, however the site's circus museum will be closed during the off-season. Circus World's performance season will resume on May 22.
