Take a Turn On a Vintage Carousel – Fall River MA

Now known as the Fall River Carousel at Battleship Cove

Original 2009 Post:

This vintage carousel used to be the merry-go-round at Lincoln Park Amusement Park up the street in North Dartmouth. Built in 1920 by the famous Philadelphia Toboggan Company (#54) the carousel charmed children and adults alike for 70 years until the park closed.

Area residents rallied to save the carousel and had it moved to its current location. It now operates on the 2nd floor of a grand pavilion with a wonderful view of Battleship Cove and  the  Braga bridge- one of the longest bridges in the state!

The Fall River area is a wonderful place to explore, I can't wait to get back there.  Within 2 miles of the Carousel you will find the incredibly photographable  Al-Macs Diner and the Lizzie Borden Museum!
