Have you noticed something extra colorful greeting you on your way into the Museum? To celebrate our region as the Carousel Capital of the World, local artists have lent their incredible talents to paint a gorgeous collection of unique carousel horses, now adorning our entrance fence!
Now, we need YOUR help picking the community favorite!
