In July of 1980 the GRAND CAROUSEL at Libertyland in Memphis was
listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1909 by William
H. Dentzel of Philadelphia, son of Gustav Dentzel, America's pioneer
carousel builder, the carousel was brought to Memphis in 1923 and placed
in the Fairgrounds Amusement Park. Designed in the "Jester Head" or
clown face style, this carousel is one of only seven Dentzel carousels in
the South and the only one in Tennessee. The elaborately ornamented
wooden horses are entirely hand-carved.
