Hand-Crafted Zine: The Circus Museum of San Antonio

Before the tents came down and the doors closed for the last time, the Hertzberg Circus Museum stood as a beloved San Antonio landmark where the magic of the big top lived on. This hand-crafted zine takes you back to that vanished world, exploring how a premier collection of posters, miniature displays, and personal treasures from stars like Tom Thumb found a home in the heart of the city.

It is a tribute to the legacy of Harry Hertzberg and a building that has transformed through many lives, from a Carnegie Library to its current role as a sanctuary for Western art. Beyond the colorful banners and greasepaint, this zine also dives into the "phantoms" that share the space at 210 West Market Street. It touches on the darker history of the land, stretching back to a violent 19th-century mystery that many believe left a restless energy behind.
