Absolute NOT to miss is the Salem Carousel. It's located at Salem's River 
Front Park. It's all hand carved with and hand painted. All carving was 
done with out power aide. All painting was done with brushes. Plane on 
spending a bit time to examine as much of the detail as possible. I watched 
it being carved and I still see something new every time I go look at. Be 
sure to take a ride, everybody loves to ride a carousel. Yes it's full size 
and working. Read some of the stories behind the horses. Each has it's own 
story to tell. Construction techniques are displayed, and much more. If 
really want to see carving at it's best, this is the place to go.
