About this place
In 1999, local wood carver Karen Loffler came across an article in a woodcarving magazine that showed a small children’s carousel fitted with woodland animals. Her love of woodcarving, along with a desire to foster imagination and strengthen her community, inspired Karen to dream of building a full-size carousel complete with hand-carved figures of Adirondack animals that would grace her beloved little village of Saranac Lake.
The Adirondack Carousel carvers were selected based on their skills, carving sophistication, structural characteristics, and quality of trappings and embellishments after careful review of submitted bios and photos of previous work.
