Carousel Museum Collection
In preparation for your year end tax donations, please consider donating to the Carousel Museum's transportation fund! Our permanent collection of carousel animals continues to grow each year. Donations to the collection have come from all over the United States including, Maine, Connecticut, New York, Kansas, Las Vegas, New Jersey, California, and New York. Your support of our transportation fund will help us get these animals to the Museum and into their forever home!
The tradition lives on! The 2022 Crocodile Club is going to knock your socks off! Plenty of the traditions you love (and love to hate) and a few new twists on our old favorites!

HISTORY:
The Crocodile luncheon, traditionally a sheep roast, started as a "Thank you " gathering for politicians in which serious talk about politics was prohibited. First held in 1875 by Gad Norton, the founder of Lake Compounce. Originally intended to thank government officials for a Bristol border change, The Crocodile Club has continued as a place where both sides of the aisle can gather, laugh, and share a meal and their thoughts. For the past decade Crocodile Club has been a fundraiser for the Carousel Museum and has been generously supported each year by Lake Compounce and their staff.
