There are many ways to give…

To make the Adirondack Carousel a reality, we have undertaken a $1.2 million fundraising campaign to build a year-round 3,500 sq. ft. pavilion that will house a full size-carousel, art gallery and workshop/classroom space, and include the construction of an adjacent playground.

There are still limited quantities of permanently engraved pavers available
to help build the path to the Adirondack Carousel pavilion.
-- Make sure to get yours before they run out! Learn more about the pavers. --
