Wagon graveyard
By the 1930s, the various circus winter quarters across the country had become burdened with an excess of these once impressive and majestic vehicles. As the circuses continued to conglomerate, most of these farms were unnecessary, and were sold off. Some wagons' remains were inadvertantly inherited by farmers in the midwest who had bought land once belonging to a circus. There are instances in which a wagon's remains have been used as a coal bin or chicken coop by some unwitting farmer.
