It also has several reproduced or repaired carousel horses. Charles Wallace Parker (C. W. Parker) manufactured the first Carry-Us-All amusement ride in 1898. This invention was such a success that his quickly growing company in Abilene, Kansas, was moved to Leavenworth. The Carousel Museum is a non-profit organization that operates through community donations and volunteer efforts.
