The Perkasie Carousel, located in Menlo Park near 3rd Street and Park Avenue, is operated and maintained by the Perkasie Historical Society. Some key dates in the Carousel’s history:

  • 1895: The building that houses the carousel was built.
  • 1951:  The carousel currently on the site was purchased, replacing an 1891 model that had hand-carved wooden horses.
  • 1955: The entire park, including the carousel, was purchased by the Borough of Perkasie for $115,000.The Borough operated all the rides at the park until the early 1960’s when all but the carousel were demolished.
  • 1968: The Perkasie Historical Society began leasing the carousel from Perkasie Borough for $1 per year and has operated the carousel ever since.
  • 1995: The local community organized a major restoration of the historic building after heavy snowfall collapsed the roof.
