The turn of the century Alan Herschell 3 row carousel was purchased used by Sam Costas for entertaining Lakepark outdoor theater customers in the early 1950s. Then it was moved to the iconic “Beer hut” Restaurant on Scott Street until the restaurant closed. It sold to D.E.G. enterprise and they assembled it at its current location in Lakeside Park.
