| Tours & Crafts
Whether you have a fond interest in art, American History, woodcraft,
or simply enjoy the excitement of the carousel, we have something special
for you. At any age, our guests can share in the enjoyment of a visit to
the Carousel Museum.
The Museum is proud to house one of the
largest collections of antique carousel pieces in the country. You can experience
the "Golden Age of the Carousel" on your own, or with our tour guides who
will share with you the colorful history and development of the hand-carved
animals that have found their place in America's rich folk art history.
You are invited to bring your group for
a hands-on experience which is educational, entertaining and unique, or make
arrangements for an outreach program.
