The Story City Antique Carousel, a vintage treasure built in 1913 by the Herschell-Spillman Co., offers a nostalgic ride in the scenic North Park of Story City, IA. With its beautifully restored wooden figures—including horses, chickens, and dogs—this historic carousel continues to enchant visitors with the melodies of a 1936 Wurlitzer Military Band organ.
Initially owned by P.T. Gifford and later acquired by the Story City Greater Community Congress, this cherished attraction underwent a significant restoration that preserved its original artistry. Today, it stands as a testament to community spirit, delighting generations with its charm and captivating atmosphere.
