This presentation documents the history of the circus in Fall River, Massachusetts, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and was adapted from a popular illustrated lecture by Bob Kitchen, a noted circus historian.
Experience the sights and sounds of the circus in its heyday – from the thrill of the circus parade to the exotic animals and electrifying performers – including Fall River’s own Rose Wentworth, a famous equestrienne.
Join Bob on a delightful romp through this once widely popular form of entertainment. If you ever dreamed of running away with the circus, this one is for you!
