2901-F. Southridge Boulevard Kennewick, WA , 99338-1500 Phone: (509) 378-3257 Website This beautiful carousel was hand carved in 1910 by Charles Carmel, and was at the Silver Beach amusement park in St. Joseph Michigan for sixty-two years. It was moved in 1972 to Roswell, NM where it stayed for 12 years. It was then brought to the Tri-Cities area. Countless volunteers, experts, and generous contributors, large and small, worked tirelessly for twelve years to make the vision of a Tri-Cities carousel a reality. Two new additions to the team of horses have been added: a Washington State University Cougar, carved by Tri-Cities’ own Michael Thornton, and a University of Washington Husky, carved by the Missoula Carousel Carvers.
