July 8th, 2018, Carousel Museum
The New England Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT, is in a closed hosiery factory.
Typical New England, where closed manufacturing facilities are being repurposed while the owners wait for America to be great again. Quote:

If you prefer carousels which actually work you could visit Broome County NY.
http://www.gobroomecounty.com/files/...el%20Guide.pdf Between 1919 and 1934, George F. Johnson (1857-1948), shoe manufacturer and great benefactor, donated six beautiful carousels to our local parks. Johnson’s commitment to recreation was always more than just good business. He felt carousels contributed to a happy life and would help youngsters grow into strong and useful citizens. Because of his own poor childhood, “George F.” believed carousels should be enjoyed by everyone and insisted that the municipalities never charge money for a magic ride. http://www.gobroomecounty.com/community/carousels Hey I know that drummer. (and a bunch of other people in the video... small town.)

That sounds like fun. Broome County? I wonder if we'd see Opus and Bill?
