Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum, Carousel manufacturing museum in North Tonawanda, US.
The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum consists of six original structures, including a mill building, carving shop, paint shop, roundhouse, and assembly areas.
Between 1876 and 1959, the Allan Herschell Company manufactured over 3000 carousels at this factory site, which became a museum in 1984.
The museum preserves the techniques of carousel manufacturing through exhibits of woodcarving, machinery, paint processes, and mechanical engineering from the early 1900s.
Visitors can experience two functioning carousels while learning about manufacturing processes through guided tours and educational programs for all age groups.
The Wurlitzer Music Department contains the only operational Wurlitzer Perforator in existence, which continues to produce music rolls for band organs.
