I'm too young to remember Euclid Beach, but I see the vivid picturs my parents paint when they share detailed stories about their childhood. Their words play the music they heard, show the films they've seen, and take me to the places they've been. My parents have unknowingly given me memories that are before my time.
I truly appreciate them for sharing and exposing me to things that I wouldn't have imagined; treasures that I'll always hold dear.
Now that I've dried my sentimental tears, I can tell you how excited I am that the Euclid Beach Carousel is under restoration, and will be available for all to ride again! I had a blast seeing the horsies on display, at the Western Reserve Historical Society. Ma and dad traded memories as they pointed out the ponies they favored as children.
The grand Carousel operated at Euclid Beach Park from 1910 until closing day, September 28, 1969. Now, Cleveland’s Euclid Beach Park Carousel Society is restoring the mechanism. It will be fully operational on November 23, 2014 at the Western Reserve Historical Society History Center in University Circle!
