Salem's Riverfront Carousel was inspired by a visit to Missoula Montana carousel by its creator Hazel Patton. Looking out over the Riverfront Park to the waterway, this is a perfect location for the whole family. This carousel celebrates the farming heritage of Salem.

Notice the intricately carved scenes on the carousel and the beautiful decorations on the horses and wagons in which local woodcarvers and artists have illustrated the history of this region. This is an exhilarating experience as the organ music begins and the carousel starts its magical journey.
