Simply incredible. I hope one day to be able to take some time off there and visit the carousel one day. I'm a professional Truck driver and unfortunately, there's not that much truck parking in that area.
my mother was born there in 1923. my great grandfather is buried there. my grand mother came there in 1906 by covered wagon from Tennessee, McDonough County Illinois
This is a great video clip, glad to see a little more of the carvings and animals that I've been able to find thus far.
I like the "waltz of the zebras" clip on the county's web site, seems to be the only song by that name in Google's search, so I'm guessing it was composed for this particular carousel

waltz of the zebra isn't the real name of that song but I don't know what it is. Glad you all are enjoying the video.

Very nice story except they were wrong about the organ, it does not have 100 pipes, more like 255.

He said "100 instruments." I think he is referring to the differently voiced pipes (i.e., violins, trombones, etc.)
