Nice find Mary! Oh I do recall the sights and sounds of these! ~Sam
Yes, me too. In Asbury Park NJ there was a great carousel I use to ride as a kid, unfortunately it’s no longer there. Maryland preserved the amusement park because of the civil rights movement. The park was one of the places that was integrated in 1960, and the carousel was part of a sit in to get the park integrated. I think because of that historic event, the carousel was saved. It still runs now and then and they give the kids free rides.

Fabulous shot, Mary. x
Thanks Agnes, yes it’s good to see them still in use as so many have disappeared.
