PTC No. 83

This beautiful carousel was built by the talented craftsmen of the Philadelphia Toboggan Co., who carved the solid wood horses and the intricate crown.



The first year these horses galloped to the sound of laughing children, this merry-go-round was on an Atlantic City pier.



In 1931 it was shipped to Ligonier and has been at Idlewild ever since.



In 1984 & 1985 the merry-go-round was completely and lovingly restored by the parks [sic] artists.
