Ross Park Carousel is a historic carousel located at Binghamton in Broome County, New York. The carousel is housed in a wooden, one story, 16-sided, pavilion topped by an eight sided cupola. The carousel has 60 horses standing four abreast, each of which is a "jumper," and two chariots. It was constructed by the Allan Herschell Company and contains its original Wurlitzer #146-A Band Organ. The carousel was purchased about 1920 and is one of six carousels donated to the citizens of Broome County by George F. Johnson (1857–1948), president of Endicott Johnson Corporation.With our world travel planner, Binghamton attractions like Ross Park Carousel can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

Appreciation is extended to the Endicott-Johnson family and company for donating these to the greater broome community. Your business may be gone but your gift to the community (your impact) is still felt and appreciated.

Horses in disrepair, but that was made up for the speed they went at. It wasn't lazy, it was exciting. Working Wurlitzer. Kids said it was really cool, amazing.
