Dentzel Carousel at Glen Echo Park

Installed at Glen Echo Park in 1921, the canopy and the carved figures were made by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Germantown, Pennsylvania. It is a classic example of hand woodcarving popular during the early 1900s.
In 2003, the 20-year restoration project to restore the Carousel was completed. The restoration exposed decorations long-hidden under layers of paint and some elements were repainted to match their original colors.
The carousel is a very short distance from Glen Echo's famed Spanish Ballroom, host to numerous area dances.
