This merry-​go-​round is one of the last three remaining carousels that were made by Stein and Goldstein. The other two are in Central Park, and the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City. The music sounds like it’s from the soundtrack of «The Sting» starring Paul Newman.

I was here for an interesting reason — as a member of the wedding party… the FIFTEEN PERSON wedding party.
Since it was November 8th, an indoor venue for taking most of the pictures was in order. So the bride and groom essentially rented the carousel for private purposes on a Saturday evening, and used it as the backdrop for their photos.
It was fun… as fun as a carousel could be for a 31-​year old with no children, I guess. It’s right at Bushnell Park in the middle of town, and offers a little nostalgia to those who yearn for the good ol’ days.
There’s not much kid-​friendly stuff in Downtown Hartford, so make this a must-​visit if you’re in the city.

I can hardly believe that no one has rated this carousel. It is beautiful and exactly 100 years old today July 26th 2014. Lucky me happened to be in town. Free rides and lots of people. And dressed docents. A real town event.
