Carousel
Manufactured by Carmel/Looff/Stein & Goldstein/Murphy
Installed in 1911
Perhaps the all-time feel good family ride, the carousel is the one ride the whole family can always enjoy. Children feel a sense of wonder while parents, grand parents, and great grandparents reminisce about the good times at their favorite childhood amusement parks. Originally opened in 1911, this classic carousel features 49 horses, two chariots, and one goat by four master carvers including Charles Carmel who carved the lead horse. The original Wurlitzer 153B band organ was refurbished in 2003 and that same year the carousel was relocated and housed in a new building. The carousel was built in the mid 1890s and first operated at Savin Rock in West Haven, CT.
