The barn suggests that

this is Peru Indiana

Indeed, and collections are being solicited for its restoration.

This is the old Cole Bros. three head stake driver that sat at the Paul Kelly farm for 40 years until they sold it at their auction in 1996. It is now part of the Circus Hall of Fame collection in Peru. Roger is very correct. There are going to be some major works done on the North barn this coming season. We have a GoFundMe page for it.
Anyone that wants to help can come to work week May 19th - 24th.

I'm looking at Sarasota for the convention, May 1-4. If I can make Peru on the 19th, I will hope to. Haven't been back since Dave Price and I were up, in '95, when he introduced me to Beatty's daughter, our late Joyce Lee Ferguson.
