A great Cooperstown attraction recently
became even greater with the Farmers' Museum's addition of the
Empire State Carousel. The best carousel we've ever been on,
this is the merriest of merry-go-rounds lovingly crafted from
a 1947 vintage carousel mechanism. Master carver Gerry Holzman,
of Islip, NY, and more than 1,000 volunteers across the state
spent over two decades creating this joyful masterpiece. The
result: endless joy for children and adults alike who marvel
at the 25 riding animals native to New York State, 23 carved
portrait panels of famous New Yorkers, eight carved folklore
panels depicting the regions of New York and "The Mighty
& Magnificent Military Band" Organ. (photo by Eric
