The Museum has been able to acquire one of the original Sherman's Carousel horses.  Frank Sherman Sr. obtained the famous carousel from the Utica Fun Park in the 1930s. Unfortunately, the original animals were sold in 1980 to obtain funds to repair the park after a devastating fire.

Since then, it has been a long term desire of the Museum to acquire one of the original horses.  We were able to do so this year.  We have named the horse "Frank" after Frank Sherman Sr.  Frank is currently at the New England Carousel Museum for restoration. We are expecting to greet Frank's return to Caroga next Spring when he will be the centerpiece of the Museum's 50th Anniversary celebration.

In the interim, we are planning to post images documenting the restoration process.
