carousel, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places
With the popularity of antique carousels at its peak, Hampton's restored 1920 merry-go-round has drawn thousands of visitors to the city's downtown waterfront. One of only 200 antique carousels still in the United States, the Buckroe Beach Carousel is a rare and beautiful example of American folk art. Its prancing steeds and stately chariots were painstakingly carved from fine-grained hardwood and painted by German, Italian and Russian immigrant artisans.
The carousel is also known as Hampton Carousel and Philadelphia Toboggan Company Number Fifty, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
