[Historic Sites] [Recreational Areas] [Carousels] [Arts and Theatre] [Events]
Between 1919 and 1934, George F. Johnson (1857-1948), shoe manufacturer and great benefactor, donated six beautiful carouseIs to our local parks. Johnson's commitment to recreation was always more than just good business. He felt carouseIs contributed to a happy life and would help youngsters grow into strong and useful citizens. Because of his own poor childhood, "George F." believed carouseIs should be enjoyed by everyone and insisted that the municipalities never charge money for a magic ride.
Now, into their seventh decade, these magnificent machines still spin from Memorial Day to Labor Day at no charge or for an admission of "one piece of litter" In a day when nothing is free, we boast the world's greatest entertainment bargain!
Our carouseIs (we've always called them merry-go-rounds), were all manufactured by the Allan Herschell Companies of North Tonawanda, New York, in the "country fair" style. You can still hear the calliope sounds of the original Wurlitzer Band Organs on the Recreation and Ross Park carouseIs.
And, jf you are lucky enough to ride on all six merry-go-rounds, you will be delighted by gorilla chariots, horses with hidden lions in the saddle blankets, a pig, and even a dog. Not to worry, every carousel animal in Broome County is a "jumper!"
Broome County has the only carousel collection of this kind in the world. Of the fewer than 170 antique carouseIs remaining in the United States and Canada, six are in Broome County, New York.
Because of the uniqueness of these carouseIs and the incomparable circumstances of their survival and existence, all six are placed on the New York State Historic Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
In addition, a Carousel Exhibit and gift shop are located at Ross Park. The current exhibit explores the history of carousel making, George F. Johnson's role in our carousel collection and specific information on our Herschell machines. Carousel Exhibit and gift shop open daily May-September.
Several of our carouseIs are undergoing painstaking restoration projects. The costly refurbishing of these priceless machines further attests to the commitment of our community to preserve these cultural legacies for future generations to enjoy. For further information on our carouseIs and the RIDE THE CAROUSEL CIRCUIT program, please call the individual parks (as listed) or the Binghamton Visitor Center at 772-0660 ext. 255.
Carousel hours of operation are subject to change due to inclement weather and park rescheduling. We recommend that you phone ahead to confirm times listed.
