This is the Carousel at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas. It is a 1923 Dentzel. It was brought to Dallas in 1950 from Carsonia Park in Reading, Pennsylvania. I have been restoring it a little at a time. There are 66 original wooden horses, 50 have been restored over the past 9 years. I have just finished the inside rounding boards and will be working on the out side boards next year. You can view the organ that playes on the carousel also on You Tube. Search (Band Organ North Tonawanda).See you at the Fair in October.
