Don't Delay Joy - The Story of The Carousel of Happiness
Carving the Future
A young Marine who dreamed of a better life for himself and his fellow man; a music box that played Chopin; a life-saving program in a small mountain town; a wooden menagerie that delivers joy to all who experience it.
Every carousel is unique, and every one of them has a story. However, the story of the Carousel of Happiness is as special as its name, a personal journey marked by amazing coincidence, unbelievable generosity, and consummate skill and determination.
Join us for a journey that began in Utah in 1918 and led to the creation of a point of pure magic in the Colorado mountains, and the man and his community who created it.
The non-profit Carousel of Happiness in Nederland, Colorado, at 8,300 feet in the Rocky Mountains is dedicated to remaining affordable, accessible, and most of all a place where joy, whimsy, and beauty meet.

What a wonderful story!
This tells the history of the carousel itself, and of the man - Scott Harrison - who was the driving force behind its creation. If you've ever visited this carousel, or you're a fan of carousels, then you'll love this story and the wonderful pictures which allow you to share the joy.
