This beautiful hand-carved carousel was created by Falmouth artist Lance Shinkle in the early 1990s. Joyous music fills the air as the horses go 'round.

A beloved fixture of Falmouth Village, the carousel has delighted local residents and visitors to Falmouth since 2013. One of the few remaining carousels of its kind in the United States, kids and adults alike flock to this Cape Cod institution every summer. Brightly colored hand-carved horses spin around the cheery red and white striped top. Take a ride on Patriot, Butterscotch or everyone's favorite, Pearl.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to thank our community and supporters for another amazing summer. This year was our best year yet - and we have all of you to thank for making merry-go-round memories every day.

We are especially grateful for our operations team, led by Beth Juaire, and for the ongoing support of the Falmouth School Department, led by Dr. Lori Duerr.

We will be open for Christmas By the Sea weekend before the horses go to sleep for a well deserved winter break. We are grateful for all of you! Please follow us on social media and visit our website for updates. Thank you again.
