The oldest carousel in the U.S. is the Flying Horses Carousel, built in 1876: This gorgeous carousel is housed in a nondescript building on the lovely island of Martha's Vineyard. The horses on this rare seaside carousel are not attached to the floor but are suspended from above. When the platform turns, the horses (and their passengers) swing out.  This was built before the widespread use of electricity.  An actual horse powered the carousel.  Click the link to view this amazing carousel at Martha's Vineyard.

All Hallows Guild's is a Traveling Carousel that dates back to the 1890's! Lovingly restored over a 20 year period, each hand-painted animal is a work of art with special significance. The carousel is operated once a year at Flower Mart – the first Friday and Saturday of May.  Before catching a glimpse of this famous Carousel, visitors hear the 1937 music of the Caliola. It plays piano-style music rolls, and has 44 brass pipes to play the notes.
