This carousel is the largest and most elaborate of Looff's works and the finest surviving example of its type in the U.S. It was originally built as a showcase for prospective buyers. The carousel features 56 hand carved wood jumpers (moving), 6 standers, 4 chariots, a camel, a Wurlitzer military band organ, decorative panels, beveled mirrors, faceted glass jewels, electric lights, and colored sandwich glass windows.

The Carousel was saved in the 1970s by residents and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites and Places in 1976. In 1987, the National Parks Service designated the Carousel as a National Historic Landmark. A $1 million restoration effort was completed in 1995. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
