Museum of the Circus
Many Sarasotans earned international acclaim as circus artists, and their personal mementos are on display in the circus museum, including clowns Lou Jacobs, Otto Griebling and Emmett Kelly; animal trainers Clyde Beatty and Gunther Gebel-Williams; the Zacchini Human Cannonballs; and the famous Wallenda highwire-walking family.

St. Martha's Catholic Church
Dubbed "the church that the circus built," St. Martha's chapel was funded by charity circus performances. Many circus families remain active at St. Martha's, which now boasts authentic circus wagon wheels as part of its official religious décor.
