This Gustav Dentzel carousel - at Ontario Beach Park in Rochester - was originally built in 1905 in Germantown, Pa. It was then sent to Rochester where it has remained (in the same spot) to this day. It is said to be worth millions of dollars, since individual Dentzel animal figures have sold for up to $100,000 apiece (the carousel has 50 of them).

Small children (and adults) are still captivated by it's beauty, the ride, and of course the organ music. And it still only costs $1 to ride!
