Herschell Carrousel Factory

I highly recommend calling ahead to sign up for a tour, or you may just miss the beauty of Old Fort Niagara and pass it off as boring and unintersting. The Fort can be reached by calling 716 745-7611. Group rates are available for groups of 12 or more. Admission prices are as follows: Adults - $8.50 Seniors - $7.50 Children (6 to 12) - $5.00 Children (under 6) - FREE They also offer discounts for: AAA/CAA members with valid card NYS Parks Master Pass coupon Guests of Old Fort Niagara Association Members This is a very magical place, steeped in the history of several wars, including the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. It's our very own "Gettysburg" on Lake Niagara. It's beauty and majesty is awesome and awe-inspiring. There are many special events throughout the year, including reenactments and special events for Independence Day. Visit the website for a complete list of events: www.oldfortniagara.org more

The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is fun for all ages! The museum is comprised of carrousel themed exhibits, detailing the four Herschell affiliated carrousel manufacturing companies, and also focuses on the Allen Herschell Company, which provided amusement park rides for kiddieland children's areas in themeparks. The museum also has an authentic 1916 antique wooden carrousel from the company, which patrons have the opportunity to board and ride with their paid admission. There is also an operational 1940s style kiddie carrousel for the smaller children who wish to ride by themselves. A great place to visit and learn! more
