Freak Shows and Side Shows

The Freak Show, which became the side show, has been traveling around the nation since the 1830's. Today many of these traveling performances have been banned and made illegal in several states. Coney Island in New York has the last permanently housed not for profit venue in the USA where you can experience the thrill of a traditional ten-in-one circus sideshow.
