Watch now: Buffalo Heritage Carousel comes to life
The Buffalo Heritage Carousel comes to life during testing ahead of its public debut at Canalside. First built in 1924 in North Tonawanda, the carousel spent decades entertaining children outside Boston before becoming shuttered and stored in the 1950s. It was carefully restored by volunteer artisans and craftsmen in a North Tonawanda workshop over the course of four years and will begin entertaining another generation of children this weekend.

A new era began Friday for a vintage 1924 carousel whose remarkable journey included sitting in storage for 63 years before arriving at Canalside.
Downtown Buffalo became a brighter place on Saturday when, after years of planning and painstaking work, a historic carousel, manufactured in Western New York nearly a century ago, began offering rides to children of all ages. The city’s waterfront will never be the same.
