The centerpiece of the museum is a fully restored 1939 Herschell Carousel. When the museum acquired the carousel all of the animals were missing so the animals on it are from other carousels or are newly carved. Other exhibits include many beautifully restored animals, posters, and carousel memorabilia. Most of the restoration work is done in the basement workshop which is not opened to the public however a small area on the museum floor is set aside for volunteers to explain the process of making or restoring a carousel animal. Visitors may also watch a carver at work. Every year a themed horse is carved to be raffled off as a fund raiser.
The accessible entrance is in the rear of the museum. The museum exhibits are accessible. Admission includes a ride on the carousel which we didn’t do because we get dizzy so I don’t know if it’s accessible.
RVs will fit in the lot if parked across the spaces. Parking spaces are also available on the street. Museum 41.45371, -82.71284
You answered my question ... yes, a ride on the carousel is possible! Heck, I get dizzy too, so I'd have to pass, as well. I bet it's fun.
ReplyDeleteWe were offered ride tokens which we didn't take but I think we could have given them to the kids who were visiting. Kids don't get dizzy!
