A Carousel for Missoula, Hand-carved carousel in Missoula, Montana.
The carousel features 38 wooden horses and two chariots positioned on an antique frame within a circular building near Caras Park.
Cabinet maker Chuck Kaparich initiated the project in 1991 after acquiring a restored 1918 Alan Herschell-Spillman Company carousel frame from Incline Village.
Local families contributed to the carousel's creation by adopting and designing individual ponies, resulting in personalized details that reflect community involvement.
The facility operates daily from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM during fall and winter, with extended hours until 7:00 PM in summer months.
The carousel contains the largest band organ in continuous operation in United States, featuring 400 wooden pipes that replicate 23 different instruments.
