The Herschell Carousel Factory Museum

The museum documents its history and offers a look at working carvers, rare figures and art, and vintage amusement devices. Listed on the National Registers, the factory once produced more merry-go-rounds than any other manufacturer. Today fewer than 200 hand-carved wooden merry-go-rounds remain in operation. Admission to the museum includes a ride token either to a restored and still operational 1916 carousel or a children's carousel.

Open daily in season.
