MEMPHIS, Tenn. — For many years, the magnificent horses of the Grand Carousel brought joy to children of all ages as they galloped at the Mid-South Fairgrounds and then Libertyland.
More than 10 years ago, the horses made their last trip in Midtown, but now thanks to a lot of money and some tender loving care, the carousel will once again come to life at the Children’s Museum of Memphis.
The pieces were carefully shipped to Ohio, to undergo a massive $1 million restoration.
The project is expected to be completed in 2017, but until then WREG is the only station in the Mid-South with exclusive access to the project.
The pictures below were sent directly to our newsroom.
