Merry-Go-Round Exhibits - Located at Recreation Park and Ross Park in Binghamton are two of the six carousels that George F. Johnson donated to local parks. Johnson felt carousels contributed to a happy life and would help youngsters grow into strong and useful citizens. Because of his own poor childhood, "George F." believed carousels should be enjoyed by everyone and he insisted that the three municipalities never charge money for a magic ride. Now, into their seventh decade, these magnificent machines still spin from Memorial Day to Labor Day at no charge or for an admission of "one piece of litter."
