Fascinating find for a lunch break – Owen O’Connor did some research after coming across this old gem while in Newport – The Carousel at Easton’s Beach, like many other Allan Herschell Company rides, was originally created to be a portable structure. In 1994, the carousel was moved from its original ground level location to the second level, adjacent to the Rotunda building. Because this ride was built to be portable, the move from its original location to the second level was possible without a complete rebuild or reconstruction. Might be a fun place to bring the kids in the Summer! Apparently the carousel still functions.
