Biographical Note

As of 2015, Fred D. Pfening III is an influential business owner, CEO of the Fred Pfening Company, and philanthropist in Columbus, Ohio. He was a collector and an enthusiast on the subject of theatre, with a particular interest in the topic of the circus. His life as a circus enthusiast began at a young age, and he worked as an usher as a teenager, and throughout his life took increasing interest that eventually led to his owning one. This enthusiasm is also evidenced by his membership in the Circus Historical Society since 1961 (including serving as president 1986-1989), and by his role as an editor and author of articles and books on the topic of the circus.

Pfening's interest led to the collection of material related to performing arts throughout his life.
