The Grand Carousel, is a merry-go-round located in Memphis, Tennessee, that was built in 1909. The carousel's horses were hand carved by Gustav Dentzel. It was purchased by the Memphis Park Commission in 1923. The carousel then operated at the site of the Mid-South Fair, and later the Libertyland amusement park. The Grand Carousel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980s but has since been delisted. After Libertyland closed in the fall of 2005, it remained abandoned with the park until 2009, when it was dismantled and placed into storage. In 2014, the Children's Museum of Memphis was given a 25-year lease on the carousel by the City of Memphis, the carousel's owner. The carousel has been restored and since December 2017, currently operates in a new facility on the museum's campus.[1]
