all-volunteer circus that operated from 1930 until the early 1960s; and the
city's Coca-Cola bottling plant. A re-created bedroom of one of the Harvey House
waitresses is upstairs. A film on the circus prepared for "Unusual Occupations"
in the 1930s is shown in the museum's theater. Open 11 a.m.–2 p.m. Wed.–Sun.
