Salem's Riverfront Carousel
Salem's Riverfront Carousel
Recreation
1 blk
Salem's Riverfront Carousel project was inspired by a trip Hazel Patton took in 1996 to visit family in Missoula, Montana. While there she went to see the first old-world style carousel built in the U.S. since the Great Depression. When Hazel rode the carousel, she knew it was more than the music and motion of the ornately carved and hand-painted horses that created magic in Missoula. The real beauty was how the carousel united the community by combining history with the creative talents of Missoula's citizens. She knew that the citizens of Salem could bring similar magic to the banks of the Willamette River.

Inspired by the New England department stores of yesteryear, our decor mixes mid-century modern design with funky details from stores in the ’50s and ’60s.
