Conversation at the Crocker, Mable Burton Ringling.
Mable Burton Ringling (1875-1929) is remembered as the wife of John Ringling, America’s circus king. But she was much more than the gracious hostess of Ca’ d’Zan, her Sarasota mansion. Her influence is felt today on the west coast of Florida where she oversaw the construction of the couple’s 57-room Venetian Gothic mansion on Sarasota Bay.
Join the Historical Society of Sarasota County on Tuesday, April 14, at 7pm for this “Conversation”. Deborah Walk, Curator of the Tibbals Circus Museum will reveal the many talents of Mable Ringling. Joining her on stage after her visual presentation will be curator and keeper of Ca’ d’Zan, Ron McCarty. Together they will answer questions from the audience.
