Barnum & Bailey Displays Grace the KAC

Bright lights and calliope music greet guests to the Kruse Automotive & Carriage Museum (KAC) where several pieces of the Barnum & Bailey Circus equipment are on display. Colorful clowns adorn the pieces, while an animal cage with a fearsome lion opens the exhibit. The display also includes a 1955 King Midget car and a horse-drawn historical popcorn wagon.

The Barnum & Bailer items are part of the wide collection of vehicles owned by auto aficionado Carl Casper. Casper is a large contributor to the KAC, which houses dozens of movie cars, celebrity vehicles and authentic classics.

The display can now be seen as a part of the vehicle collection in the KAC museum during regular business hours, and is included in general admission prices.

The Kruse Automotive & Carriage Museum is excited to announce the launch of our newly redesigned website!

We've completely redesigned the site and added several new features. For instance, the video at the top of every page will give you a little bit of information about the cars it shows. But, if you click on the picture you will be taken to a page full of information about that car!

We've also added links to nearby accomodations, facility rental information, and pictures of our collection.

So, feel free to take a look around and let us know what you think of the new website!
