1873: The Circus Comes to Trenton

This great old broadside ad for P.T. Barnum's "Greatest Show On Earth" conjures up memories of the circus coming to town via the railroad, unloading the train and marching in a procession to the circus grounds. I know that the area off Greenwood Avenue near the Junior Two school was the site of carnivals and circuses, but I
suspect that there was another location closer to the city of Trenton back in the 1870's.
