The town’s roots run deep: it’s where the Ringling Brothers Circus began in 1884, and you can still see Al Ringling’s mansion. Don’t miss Man Mound, a 200-foot sacred earthwork that’s a rare survivor of ancient indigenous burial sites. If you’re not in Baraboo, Middleton’s free Cider Market this Saturday offers crafts, games, and live music, while Beaver Dam’s Dodge County Flea Market has antiques and handmade goods—free entry and parking. The Ringling legacy? Still alive—the circus returned in 2023 after wintering in Baraboo until 1918. Next week: Rock County 4-H Fair in Janesville. Keep it locked.
