Myrtle Beach is home to a stunningly gorgeous Herschell-Spillman 3-row, park model menagerie carousel. Although we did not take a census, the National Carousel Association lists the platform population as 12 Jumping Horses, 11 Standing Horses including at least two prancers, 27 Menagerie Animals (2 Elephants, 1 Tiger, 2 Giraffes, 1 Camel, 1 Deer, 2 Frogs, 2 Zebras, 1 Dragon, 2 Dogs, 2 Pigs, 2 Roosters, 2 Ostriches, 2 Cats, 1 Lion, 1 Stork, 1 Goat, 2 Mules), and 2 chariots. The elephants may be from the United States Carousel Company. They do closely resemble the elephants on the Flower Guild’s carousel in Washington, D. C. The carousel has three levels with the two upper levels serving as the home for the figures.

 

Although the original location of the carousel is not known, it was moved from Oxford Lake Park in Anniston, Alabama in 1950 to the now defunct Myrtle Beach Pavilion and Park where it remained until 2006. After being placed in storage for one year, it was re-assembled and opened at Broadway at the Beach in 2007.

 

The carousel is beautifully maintained and housed in year-round pavilion and is open most days year-round.

 

The band organ is a Bruder which uses Wurlitzer rolls.

 

We thank Lilly for allowing us on the platform to take photos.
