Fulton County Historian, Shirley Willard, will be sharing her knowledge of the Cole Brothers Circus and its connection to Fulton County, Indiana on Wed., March 8 @ 11:00 in Kewanna Union Township Public Library.
Willard says Cole Brothers was one of the last traditional circuses to use the big top tents and travel by railroad. In the winter, the performers and animals lived in Rochester. In the summer, the show would travel the rails, setting up tents and performing around the county.
