This building with both interior

exhibit & performance spaces as

well as outdoor performing areas

sat across 41 (The Trail) from

our Sarasota airport was built

in the late 50s & closed in the

early 80s & had a big collection

of historic circus wagons that

were mostly on loan

Bummer! I was hoping to check it out. I finally got to visit Baraboo last year...

In Peru, in 1995, I learned that most, if not all, of the Sarasota Hall of Fame, arrived there, to languish--or, to sit rotting, as Clyde Beatty's daughter put it--in trucks for years due to no money to sort it out, and no place to house further exhibits. I haven't heard any better news since, and trust someone might provide an update.

It has also been claimed that when contributors learned to their horror of this failed transfer, they pled for their artifacts--rigging, costumes, props, et al--to be returned to them. Their requests were rebuffed, with the response that once items were donated, it is museum policy never to return them to donors.
