Petersburg has a rich history of being the winter home to circus performers during the early 1900s, and the birthplace of many famous circus performers during the peak of this form of entertainment in America. Not only did these performers spend their winters training in Petersburg, but also put on shows in the Round Barn in downtown Petersburg.

This summer The Studio On The Square has a super cool circus themed camp for students that have finished k - 8. Information is below!

Historic pics of Petersburg's rich connection to the circus community will be posted in the comments!
