The Family Kingdom Carousel is part historic, part modern. In 1923, the Philadelphia Toboggan Company built Carousel #87 for the Casino in Asbury Park, NJ. Much later, the horses were sold off but the machine was saved and brought here. The panels were repainted to reflect Carolina scenes and fiberglass horses were installed.
