Conneaut Lake Park Carousel *HD*

This is the Carousel at Conneaut Lake Park located in northwestern Pennsylvania. Conneaut Lake Park opened in 1892 and the Carousel opened in 1910. Most of the original horses were removed and sold in 1989 and replaced with new models. I was told by an elderly gentleman who worked at the Park that the original horses are the ones with real horse hair. The carousel still has an operating ring machine but the Park does not use it. The music you hear comes from the Park's antique Artizan band organ, which is one of two known of the same model in the world. I believe the Artizan band organ dates back to the 1920's.
