Cass County Carousel In Logansport Indiana
Located in Logansport Indiana this classic ride still thrill kids of all ages. One of the only remaining ring carousels, this Denztel clasic carousel has something for everyone. So sit back and reach for the brass ring.....Maybe a triple!!
History Of The Cass County Casousel:
The hand carved 43 animal Gustav Dentzel Carousel was brought to Logansport in 1919 from Fort Wayne, Indiana, by a private owner. While the history of the Logansport animals are traced to 1902, much evidence exists to date the animals to 1885. It is probable, then, that some of the animal carvings are over 100 years old.
The Jaycees raised the necessary funds to purchase the Logansport Carousel in 1972. The Cass County Carousel, Inc. was formed by interested volunteers to maintain and protect for future community enjoyment.
The Carousel was reassembled at Logansport's Spencer Park at the east edge of town, and has been in Logansport ever since. The Carousel was then moved to Riverside Park in 1949- a more centrally located park with more activities and much heavier community traffic and use. With the help of the Indiana Landmarks Foundation the McHale Community Complex was designed and construction completed in 1995 with tremendous community support.

Carousel State Fair of Texas, Dallas
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.
