BRENHAM’S FLYING HORSES CAROUSEL FEATURED IN TEXAS HIGHWAYS MAGAZINE

  

The Flying Horses Carousel at Fireman’s Park in Brenham is featured in a new article from a statewide travel magazine.

Texas Highways, published monthly by the Texas Department of Transportation, tells some of the history of Brenham’s antique carousel in a report on the six that remain operational across the state.

City of Brenham Community Services Specialist Crystal Locke told Texas Highways’ Omar Gallaga that the carousel is “a historical piece within our park and something the community has really gotten behind.”  She said the city plans to continue taking care of the horses so the carousel remains “a gem that families today and future generations will be able to enjoy.”

According to the National Carousel Association, Brenham’s carousel was built in 1910 and made its debut at the Washington County Fair on October 12, 1932.
