Feamster’s Circus was the first circus to come to Lewisburg.  The year was 1825.  Living natural curiosities included a pair of African Leopards, a young Cougar, an Ostrich, an African Crownbird, a Shetland Pony and a number of monkeys.  At night there was a grand display of ground and lofty tumbling acts.  And what was the price for all this entertainment?  25 cents.  Children under 12, half price!
