Carousel

I waited for my case to come off the plane and appear on the carousel.

The children are riding the carousel.

On a carousel horse, you will not go very far!

Benedito and his friends will ride the carousel.

The Dentzel Carousel is an irreplaceable example of a vanished craft, an enjoyable experience for people of all ages, and a cherished community landmark.

The Glen Echo carousel is called a "menagerie carousel" because it is made up of many different kinds of animals. The animals stand in three concentric rings with the "romance" side, the more highly-carved and decorated side facing out, and the "plain" side facing in.

In 1960, the carousel was the focal point of a civil rights sit-in demonstration against segregation at the park. Because the amusement park was segregated - whites only - many were left out.

Tax deductible donations and a portion of ticket revenues go into a special Carousel Restoration fund.

In the mid-1980s, restoration workers began the time-consuming process of returning the carousel and its animals to their original, brilliant appearance.

Restoring and refurbishing the carousel and its animals after years of alterations was a slow, painstaking process.
