点评:Day trip to Peru, IN to visit this museum. Yes, it is handicapped accessible throughout the old retail store setting. If you’re interested in Cole Porter or the major traveling circuses, this is te place for you. Three floors of original artifacts from Cole Porter (including his Cadillac used in the “Godfather” movie - first floor. The second floor was mostly artifacts from the community itself and the third floor was a treasure trove of artifacts from the Barnum and Bailey Circus, Ringling Brothers, and others once based in Peru. Super interesting even though I was never a circus goer myself. Anything from the history before my time is interesting to me. The circus life is still ingrained in Peru. There is a festival in the summer and dozens of of kids train for the high wire and other acts to display their talents in the air conditioned big top. Definitely worth the trip. Spent about 2 hours total, then lunch at Harvey Hinkelmeyers. Wonderful trip.
翻译:前往印第安纳州秘鲁一日游参观这个博物馆。是的,在旧的零售店环境中,它适合残疾人士出入。如果你对科尔·波特或主要的巡回马戏团感兴趣,这里就是你要来的地方。一楼有三层楼,里面陈列着科尔·波特的原创文物(包括他在电影“教父”中使用的凯迪拉克)。二楼主要是来自社区本身的文物,三楼则是巴纳姆和贝利马戏团、林林兄弟马戏团和其他曾经在秘鲁的马戏团的文物宝库。超级有趣,尽管我自己从来没有看过马戏团。我以前的历史中的任何东西都很有趣。马戏团生活仍然根深蒂固地存在于秘鲁。夏天这里有一个节日,几十个孩子在有空调的大帐篷里训练高空走钢丝和其他表演,展示他们的才华。绝对值得一游。总共花了大约 2 个小时,然后在 Harvey Hinkelmeyers 吃午饭。很棒的旅行。
