WOW! What a great Antique carousel. This Carousel dates back to the 1860s, and is authentically restored. The paintings on it were elaborate and detailed and the craftsmen ship was gorgeous.Hand painted work appears on the carousel carriages and walls of the Merry Go Round. The machinery inside of the Carousel is actually Circa 1860 and though it makes the ride quite bumpy the fact that some of it was working was impressing. Also the Music on the Carousel was very fun and enjoyable and was an upbeat antique tune.
