Highland Park is a historic park in Meridian, Mississippi
Description From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Highland Park Dentzel Carousel and Shelter Building is a carousel and building in Highland Park in Meridian, Mississippi. Manufactured about 1896 for the 1904 St. Louis Exposition by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the carousel was sold and shipped to Meridian. Highland Park Dentzel Carousel has been in operation since 1909 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. It is the only remaining two-row stationary Dentzel menagerie in the world.

The Carousel

Original oil paintings of museum quality adorn the top crown of the carousel.
The carousel is approximately 30 feet (9.1 m) in diameter, with 28 animals, two-abreast, and 2 chariots, providing seating for 36 people.
All 28 animals on the carousel, including a lion, a tiger, 2 deer, 2 antelope, 2 giraffes, and 20 horses, are meticulously hand-carved of bass and poplar wood and have been recently restored to their original beauty.
