Hampton Carousel
By Linda Tancs
Built in 1920, Hampton Carousel is a historic carousel housed in a pavilion, operated by the Hampton History Museum in Hampton, Virginia. One of few antique wooden merry-go-rounds still existing in the U.S., it still boasts its original mirrors and oil paintings, as well as 48 intricately decorated horses rising and falling to the strains of the original band organ. Open seasonally, it only costs one dollar to ride this precious piece of history!
