Abstract:

Carousels, with wooden horses fixed in galloping positions and music gaily playing, have entertained parents and children for generations. Today slightly over 170 of them remain. Five reside in the state. Burlington's and Raleigh's are on the National Register of Historic Places. Shelby has just registered its carousel and is seeking registration.
