Jantzen Beach Carousel, Historical carousel in Hayden Island, Portland, United States
The Jantzen Beach Carousel measures 67 feet in diameter and features 72 hand-carved wooden horses arranged in four concentric circles within its structure.
Built in 1904 by C.W. Parker in Kansas, this carousel first appeared at the St. Louis World's Fair before moving to California and finally Portland in 1928.
The carousel operated at Jantzen Beach Amusement Park for 45 years, then for 40 years inside a shopping mall, becoming a symbol of local entertainment.
Restore Oregon currently maintains the dismantled carousel parts in a North Portland storage facility while seeking 5 million dollars for its restoration.
The carousel contains mirrors, lights, and organ music mechanisms, making it one of the few remaining large park-model carousels from the early 20th century.
