1921 Dentzel Carousel: 3 Videos BCG Filmmakers
This compilation about the 1921 Dentzel Carousel at Glen Echo Park, MD,
includes 3 videos:
The Main Feature covers the history of the carousel, its arrival
at Glen Echo Park, how it compares to other carousels, the parts of the carousel,
how it works, how it was saved from being sold to another park, and the 20-year
project—conceived by park curator Nick Veloz and carried out by carousel
artist Rosa Patton Ragan—that restored the carousel to its original
beauty.
An Artist's View of the Restoration offers a guided tour by Australian artist and carousel restorer Patricia Mullins.
In How to Best Enjoy your Ride, actors from Adventure Theatre show us proper carousel etiquette. (Dont hang your handbag on the bunny's ear! Don't use the horse's galloping leg to help you into the saddle! Do remember where you put your ticket!)
