Lakewood Park

If in the past you spent some time at the old Lakewood Park in Barnesville, PA, especially as a youngster ... then you might have enjoyed a ride or two on this old merry-go-round.

Some of the history of this region is alive and well out in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The link below will lead you to a page of photos showing how the Carousel which was formerly at Lakewood Park was restored after it was removed from the park and shipped to Grand Rapids, Michigan back in 1982. Click on a picture and it will enlarge ... after which you can use the <<<previous picture or next picture>>> feature to move through the photos.
