The Perkasie Carousel is one of the Pennridge area's most prized assets. Located in Menlo Park at 5th Street and Park Avenue, it is operated and maintained by the Perkasie Historical Society. The carousel and the building that houses it were completely renovated and refurbished in May 1996.
The original carousel, powered by steam, was installed in 1892, and the building erected in 1895. The present carousel replaced the original in 1951. The Borough of Perkasie purchased Menlo Park and the carousel in 1955, and in 1968 the Perkasie Historical Society leased the carousel from the Borough.
