Swan City is now a ghost town, but was located on Nebraska route 103. There is a granite marker overlooking cornfields which mentions Swan City and the O'Connor circus. Many thanks, Heather O'Connor Boston, MA [email protected] >> While I have heard of the O'Connor Circus, I can't help you with any info.
