Logansport Carousel



Co-op field trip! We went to the carousel in Logansport and then off to the local museum. We rented out the place so the kids could ride as many times as they wanted. It was a great day with great weather. 
Picnic Afterwards!

The Logansport Cass County Dentzel Carousel is a one-hundred-plus-year-old hand-carved masterpiece. Patriarch, Gustav A. Dentzel, carved the carousel. The mesmerizing power and fairy tale appearance of the carousel would be nonexistent today if it were not for Gustav A. Dentzel. Dentzel’s carvings were considered “la creme de la creme.” (Carolee Weber. Pharos-Tribune July 16, 2000.) The Cass County Dentzel Carousel is one of three complete, stationary Dentzel carousels in the country





 
Even Lotte got to ride! 
















Mrs. Doty took the lead and told us all about the history of the carousel and planned our trip to the museum. 

 Playground by the carousel that looks so similar to ours at home!

 Even the big kids like it - they had a ring that you could try and grab each time it went around - that was a huge hit to the older kids.
