Hungry? Time for the picnic!
By the way, the music you just heard (if you watched the video or rode the carousel) was from a Wurlitzer 125 organ, identical to the one made by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company and installed here in 1924. The carousel itself was made circa 1900 by master carver Salvatore Cernigliaro and just re-opened last November – as did the entire park – after being closed for two years while undergoing extensive renovations. The one-third sized operational miniature train is a near exact replica of a locomotive that was built in 1863. The park itself was founded in 1887.
'Nuff said. The picnic shelter was a great place to spend some quality time together. It was good to be back.
We'll have to do it again!
