One of the highlights of a visit to the Shelburne Museum in Vermont is the Kirk Bros. Circus that was carved by Edgar Decker Kirk over a period of more than 40 years from 1910-1956. A three-ring circus complete with audience was carved using a simple penknife and a foot-powered jigsaw. The collection numbering over 3,500 pieces was originally a toy for the four Kirk children.
