A beloved Portland area landmark – a vintage carousel from the 1920s – is hitting the trail for points east.
Stephanie Brown works for Restore Oregon, where her title is “Director of Carousel Planning and Education.” She has lived and breathed the Jantzen Beach Carousel, and searched for a permanent home for it in the Beaver State, for six years.Brown says the Jantzen Beach Carousel is not the same size as a regular amusement park carousel that most people might be familiar with.
Brown says the manufacturer made only four carousels of this enormous size, including the Jantzen Beach specimen, and the Jantzen Beach Carousel is now the only surviving example. For a regional size comparison,Is it time to create a ‘National Aviation Heritage Area’ in the Pacific Northwest?Brown says Restore Oregon almost secured a permanent home and steward for the carousel in Portland in early 2020, right before the pandemic, but then that deal fell through.
Restore Oregon’s Brown says The Dalles museum, though its focus is neon, is the perfect home for the carousel.
