Lake Compounce Carousel, Historic carousel in Southington, United States
The Lake Compounce Carousel features 18 rows of riding positions with 16 rows containing three horses each, plus a chariot and a goat figure.
The carousel, designed by Charles I. D. Looff and constructed in 1890, moved from Savin Rock Amusement Park to Lake Compounce in 1911.
The wooden horses display individual designs, colors, and expressions, representing the craftsmanship of late nineteenth-century American amusement devices.
The carousel operates within Lake Compounce amusement park, which offers multiple attractions, games, and food options for visitors throughout the season.
The structure stands in a twelve-sided wooden building with a scallop-shingled roof, monitor center, and central cupola supported by wooden posts.
