Circus Ohio is a museum at 103 E Main Street in Bainbridge, Ohio, United States. It has an extensive collection related to famed animal trainer Clyde Beatty and many other Ohio circus companies, owners, and performers.[1]

The Clyde Beatty Collection[edit]

Circus Ohio is home to a large hometown collection of Clyde Beatty memorabilia. What started as a private collection of a few posters and programs has turned into an impressive archive of Ohio circus art, ephemera, and information. The Clyde Beatty Exhibit is home to hundreds of pieces of Beatty history: posters, programs, circus souvenirs, contracts, press kits, costumes, family heirlooms, personal communications, and video and audio archives.[2]

The Tom Persell Circus Model[edit]

Massillon, Ohio's Tom Persell spent 20 years of his life building, carving, painting, and sewing his very own miniature circus. The 640 sq. ft. circus model has been displayed from Cleveland to Canton and Sarasota, Fla., to Strasburg, Pa. Persell's Wilson Brothers Circus features 100 wagons (built, painted and lettered by hand), 1,700 figurines and animals painted in vibrant colors, a grandstand of people, horse-drawn parade floats, midway concession stands, red and white striped umbrella-covered tables, and so much more. The Tom Persell Circus Model is now permanently on display at Circus Ohio.[3]
