Carousel house saved from former Williams Grove amusement park grounds
WILLIAMS GROVE, Pa. (WHTM) — A 101-year-old carousel house was moved from a former amusement park Friday.
The Williams Grove Historical Steam Engine Association will eventually bring it onto their property.
The carousel was a major component of the former Williams Grove Amusement Park that closed 20 years ago. Now, it's on its way to be restored.
'To be able to take the last piece of remaining of history out of the park and move it over here to restore it seemed like the right thing to do,' Dale Bentz, vice president of the association, said. 'Recreating history and preserving history, you only have one shot at it.'

After restoration is complete, the carousel house may be used as a live performance stage which could lead to more public events on the steam engine grounds.
