Niagara Falls Continued



Our next stop was to the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum. Here you get to see the process of how the carousel animals (mostly horses) are carved, painted, etc. No one is actually doing it, though. There is another mighty Wurlizter. A piano that you place the music roll into. You can view how the music rolls are created. There's another room that houses various carousel creations as well as both a children and adult carousel.

Slowly I Turn...Step By Step




Yes, we're talking about Niagara Falls. This trip was about the county on the USA side. We first began with lunch at the Hideaway Grille just outside of Buffalo. It's one of those "down home" restaurants. There signature dishes are the Buffalo wings and ribs. Historic (vs. hysteric) Riviera Theatre was our first attraction. This old theatre has one of those Mighty Wurizter organs. That's some big organ that I got my hands on. Esther wants to touch it as well. She does get to learn how to operate the projector. Oh, look, there's my name up in lights! We later came back to watch a Beatlemania event.
