- Who doesn’t love a circus! Join us today as we tour the French Lick West Baden Museum along with the Hagenbeck Wallace Circus Museum. Circus Day is an annual event held each June to honor the 86 circus performers who were killed in the tragic great train wreck of 1918. The museum has the World’s Largest Circus Diorama. The amount of circus memorabilia is mind blowing.
We learn the history of French Lick Springs Hotel and the West Baden Springs Hotel. French Lick is also the home of Larry Bird! The museum has a lot of his memorabilia as well.
There are vendors and circus performers who perform throughout the day.
Come one come all! Let’s join the circus 🎪

We enjoyed the circus museum tour and festival, Terri, Keith and Josh. You know as I'm watching, I'm drinking mineral water! 🤣🤣 You'll understand if I disappear for a little while? The train wreck was tragic. The diorama was amazing! We enjoyed hearing about and seeing the wagon. But keep the 🐍away from me too! Fun tour. Thanks for bringing us along.
It was a fun day but sweltering hot! Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend Dave & Kathy! We drank from the Fountain of Youth in St Augustine & it had the same effect 😅
Enjoyed the museum and all the history. Enjoyed all the entertainers .
Fun day except for the heat!
How neat, that is a lot to do in that town. The circus 🎪 were so fun to go to when we were kids. But times change and you hardly see them anymore.
It’s rare to see a circus nowadays.
Interesting place!
It was a very hot day but an interesting place to see 😊
The only thing we knew about French Lick was that it was the hometown of Larry Bird. We had not heard about the tragedy of this circus train wreck. Very sad. I love the circus diorama. We miss the circus. It was very cool that you got to see some circus performers in action. We enjoyed seeing some circus history with you. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks! It was a very interesting museum!
That museum looked nice 😊 I marked on my map 👍 to bad I didn’t know about the fair I would have gone. It’s weird that it was empty 🤪 I think I went to a tractor show that weekend and it was busy and hot 🥵
It was horribly hot 🥵 we thought of you when we saw the train exhibit at the museum
WoW! That’s Incredibly Awesome! I Loved it! 🤩❤️✨
Thanks so much! We appreciate it! 😊
Looks like a fun place to visit!
It was a fun day with the exception of the excessive heat.
Hey 👋 Keith & Terri!
Happy 4th🇺🇸and 5th 🍻
Larry Bird is my fav🏀 bball player ever. Wow!!, Keith! 😮You played with Larry? Who knew? Glad you guys ‘took the heat’ to make this video. Thx!!
No snakes 🐍 for me either Terri- Josh is a brave man! Okay ✅ ready for more coffee ☕️ ☕️ Have a great weekend!!
It was a great event but so so hot! Time for our morning coffee as well! ☕️
That wagon’s amazing. It reminds me of some of the coaches I saw in the Lisbon Coach Museum (from horse-drawn days).
This one was amazing to see! So glad it was restored to its former glory.
Thank you for this video. Very informative and no falls.
Thanks 😊 Yah for no falls this time! We appreciate you watching 😀
Now that was really quite something...especially all the amazing history! Always enjoy a wonderful circus...just not the clowns! LOL
There’s a lot of people who agree with you & hate clowns 😅
To use your own description: Inde3ed this was amazing. Learnt a lot and enjoyed the tour and the excitement everywhere. Enjoy your Sunday. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Thanks so much! 😊
This was a great video!
Thanks so much! 😊
That “Two Hemispheres” wagon was in Sarasota, Florida for many years.
It was beyond amazing to see!
@@RetiredLovingIt Thanks for your response! It was in the Circus Hall of Fame right in US41. That museum closed many years ago.
We heard there’s another circus museum in Peru Indiana
We want to check that out sometime
@@RetiredLovingIt The Ringling circus museum still exists in Sarasota. The Shelburn Museum in Vermont has a miniature circus parade on display with a model of the Two Hemispheres wagon being pulled by a large team of horses.
@@Modeltnick we would love to see that as well
