Carousel Pavilion & Museum Update April 2022
The Seaside Heights Carousel Pavilion & Museum building is finished! And now we continue to focus on carousel restoration and local history museum development/construction.
The Dr. Floyd L. Moreland Dentzel/Looff Carousel was shipped in August 2021 to Marion, Ohio based, Carousels & Carvings, Inc. for major restoration. Although a completion date is unknown at this time it is anticipated that the carousel will be reassembled in its new home on the Boardwalk Promenade in time for a grand opening spring 2023 (fingers crossed for an earlier grand opening).
Borough Council hired museum consultants on April 20, 2022, to assist with development of the local history museum - Barbara Fahs Charles (carousel expert and formerly of Staples & Charles); Whitepoint Fine Art based in Asbury Park; and Capitol Museum Services based in Manassas, Virginia. Each consultant will handle a separate aspect of the museum. The Seaside Heights Historical Society continues to accept loans and donations of historical memorabilia such as old photos, postcards, matchbooks, brochures, etc.
