    Famous Circus Magnate John Ringling and wife Mabel spent the circus off-seasons as our neighbors, and built not only their home, but a beautiful Museum of the Arts on Sarasota Bay, just off of present day U.S. 41 just at the south end of Bradenton Florida and the north end of Sarasota Florida.  You will be hard pressed to find a finer collection of art anywhere.  Take a tour through their home on the grounds as well.  Also see the new Circus Minatures Museum.  You can spend a whole day here and have a hard time taking it all in.  See the special section at Bradenton Florida Portal
