There are 6 carousels located in 6 different parks near or in Binghamton, all donated by the same man, a shoe manufacturer in the area. Ellicott-Johnson Co was a big industry in the area in the 1900s. Mr George Johnson donated the carousels to the parks in the 1920's and 1930's with the stipulation that they be free to the public. Sadly, they only operate from June to Labor Day, so when we got there they were closed down. We still had fun finding them and looking at them through windows and fences.
