A great
Cooperstown attraction recently became even greater with the Farmers'
Museum's addition of the Empire State Carousel. The best carousel we've
ever been on, this is the merriest of merry-go-rounds lovingly crafted
from a 1947 vintage carousel mechanism. Master carver Gerry Holzman, of
Islip, NY, and more than 1,000 volunteers across the state spent over
two decades creating this joyful masterpiece. The result: endless joy
for children and adults alike who marvel at the 25 riding animals
native to New York State, 23 carved portrait panels of famous New
Yorkers, eight carved folklore panels depicting the regions of New York
and "The Mighty & Magnificent Military Band" Organ. (photo
