Elitch Gardens Carousel, Historic carousel in Kit Carson County, Colorado, US.
The Elitch Gardens Carousel contains 67 wooden horses and chariots, featuring detailed carvings created by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters craftsmen.
Built in 1905, this carousel operated at Elitch Gardens until 1928, when Kit Carson County purchased it for $1,200 during the Great Depression.
The carousel maintains its original paint on both scenery panels and animals, representing early 20th-century American craftsmanship and entertainment traditions.
The carousel requires riders under 36 inches tall to be accompanied by a supervising companion, and hand-held infants cannot participate on the ride.
This menagerie carousel includes not only horses but also camels, giraffes, and zebras, accompanied by a 1909 Wurlitzer 155 Military Band Organ.
