Carousel At Pottstown

About

The VISION of the Carousel at Pottstown is to be the catalyst for Pottstown’s downtown revitalization and to return revenue to the community with profits of the operating carousel. Free-standing carousels can attract over 225,000 riders and even more visitors a year. This will: · Improve Property Values · Stimulate Employment · Dissipate Crime · Enhance the Quality of Life · Encourage Home Ownership Less than 150 all wood grand carousels remain in North America today, and Pottstown owns one of them. A 1905 mechanism built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC) with original rounding boards being re-created by local students, artists, and artisans will hold 50 new and antique carved, solid wood figures. This Carousel is the second oldest PTC carousel in existence.
