Good morning, Cape Cod!
We’ve set up our Big Top on the grounds of the Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich for five shows tonight through Wednesday. It’s our 11th year at this Cape Cod gem. Check out this article on Smirkus on the front page of yesterday’s Cape Cod Times. it profiles Nick Zellle, a 16-year-old Orleans summer resident who is performing for his second summer with Circus Smirkus.
The tract of land now known as Heritage Museums & Gardens played an important part in the history of the town of Sandwich, dating back to 1677. Today, this venerable Cape Cod non-profit promotes and fosters the appreciation, preservation and stewardship of America’s culture and horticulture by connecting people, living collections, object collections and ideas.
The Museum serves over 80,000 visitors annually who come from around the world. Three buildings house special and permanent exhibitions. Other additions to the grounds include a Labyrinth, Maze, Flume Fountain and outdoor family discovery center, Hidden Hollow.
Heritage Museums & Gardens provides a memorable experience of beauty, exploration and discovery for all ages, which inspires visitors to return and share the excitement with family and friends. It is a welcoming home for Circus Smirkus – we’re so happy to be back at this beautifiul site on the Cape!
