HISTORIC CAROUSEL AND MUSEUM

ALBANY, OR

Oak trees in frost and fog at sunrise, Oregon Took a short drive to one of our local parks here in the Willamette Valley. The softness of the light that came through those frosted trees intrigued me. One week we are near 60 and the spring bulbs are coming up, the next week we are scraping ice off our windshields. Gotta love the variety of Oregon winters.

The Historic Carousel and Museum is located in Albany, Oregon and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area. The museum is home to a beautifully restored carousel that was originally built in 1912 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The carousel was purchased by the city of Albany in 1971 and has been lovingly restored and maintained ever since.

The carousel boasts 52 hand-carved wooden animals that are intricately painted and adorned with jewels and other decorative elements. Each animal was carved by skilled artisans and is a true work of art. The carousel also features a Wurlitzer band organ that provides the music for the ride.

In addition to the carousel, the museum also houses a collection of historical artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of Albany's rich history. Visitors can learn about the city's early settlers, its thriving logging industry, and its role in the development of the Pacific Northwest.

The museum is open year-round and offers guided tours and educational programs for visitors of all ages. It is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Albany, and is a great place to learn about the city's fascinating past while enjoying a ride on a beautifully restored piece of history.
