Strongsville Branch

Meeting Rooms A & B (130)

Explore the history behind a beloved piece of Cleveland’s history. 

The Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel opened riders in a brand-new pavilion at the Cleveland History Center in November 2014, but it lived many lives before then. This program explores its first hundred years after its original opening at Euclid Beach, a local amusement park, in 1910. Through the closure of the original park in 1969, the Carousel’s removal from Northeast Ohio, and its complex return and restoration process. This is the story of the survival of a beloved piece of Cleveland’s history.

Registration is requested. Register here or call (440) 238-5530.
