The city of Binghamton features six carousels located at different places within Broome County. It has been called the *Carousel Capital of the World.* This collection of carousels is rich in history and incomparable in historical design.
The carousels were all donated by businessman George Johnson of Endicott-Johnson fame, with the intent that any child that wanted to ride the 'horse ballet' would be welcome to do so. The carousel at Ross Park was installed in 1920 and is home to thirty-six animals.
