Description: Carousel at Battleship Cove in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1920 during the "Golden Age" of wooden carousels, Carousel #54 was shipped from the City of Brotherly Love to North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, where it served as the crown jewel of Lincoln Amusement Park for seventy years. When the park closed in 1991, a group of Fall River business leaders lobbied to bring the carousel to Battleship Cove. The carousel was refurbished at a cost of $250,000. A majestic Victorian pavilion was constructed to house the attraction. The structure now perches over Fall River Heritage State Park, offering panoramic views of the Battleship Cove fleet and Tauton River. Source: Battleship Cove[1]
