Join America’s carnies who travelled across the country to entertain audiences with weirdness.

The early 20th century was The Golden Age of carnivals. Before movie theaters proliferated, small town Americans waited all year for the carnival to come around. 

Strange sideshows like Teddy the Wrestling Bear and The Smallest Man in the Universe, alongside rigged games and cheap rides were the favorite form of entertainment back in the day. It was all run by people who made their life on the road, roughing it in colorful costumes.

Go back and live alongside the cast of characters who brought strangeness and fun wherever they were.
