2023 September Manufacturer with a Twist Challenge

I love carousels - big, loud, sparkly carousels. I was talking to a friend about this love when she said there is a historic carousel just 20 minutes away. I’ve lived here for 30+ years AND NEVER KNEW THAT! I was even happier when she suggested a day trip out to the park.

Glen Echo Park was first developed in 1891 and opened as an amusement park in the early 1900s. The amusement park closed in 1968 amidst the civil rights movement. After it was acquired by Park Services, it reopened and, today, the carousel is the only remaining working ride. The rest of the buildings are being used for art classes, galleries, music and puppet performances, and so on.
