Circus Historical Society

The Circus Historical Society (CHS) is an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of American circus arts. Founded in 1954, it serves as a resource for enthusiasts, researchers, and performers interested in the evolution of circuses, their performers, and the cultural significance of this entertainment form. The society collects artifacts, documents, and stories related to circuses and organizes events, presentations, and publications that highlight their impact on society. Through its efforts, the CHS aims to ensure that the legacy of the circus continues to be appreciated and understood by future generations.
