Buckroe Beach Carousel, Historical carousel in Hampton, United States.

The Buckroe Beach Carousel features 48 hand-carved wooden horses arranged in three rows and two wooden chariots within its 45-foot diameter platform.

The Philadelphia Toboggan Company constructed this wooden carousel in 1920 for the Buckroe Beach Amusement Park, where it operated until 1985.

The carousel incorporates 42 oil paintings, 30 mirrors, and a 1914 Bruder band organ that produces music from 66 key B.A.B. rolls.

Visitors find the restored carousel at 602 Settlers Landing Road, across from the Virginia Air and Space Center in downtown Hampton.

Each wooden horse on the carousel received individual restoration between 1988 and 1991 by R&F Designs of Bristol, Connecticut.
