"Winter Quarters, Florida in the 50's"
Sarasota Florida became the winter home for "The Greatest Show on Earth", The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1927. It was a renowned training center for the artists and champions of the circus and a premier tourist attraction for the state. For the spectator, the winter quarters provided a truly up-close and personal look at the amazing acts and the animals that made the circus such a magical and spectacular show. In the 1950s a huge metal sign was erected to attract visitors to this unique facility. The sign and the quarters no longer exist but the heritage of the circus continues to define Sarasota, forever linking the two.
