Built in 1851, Straight Gate Lutheran Church is one of South Australia's oldest Lutheran Churches. Its bell tower and an 1871 German-made bell are still in use. This interesting display features the unique Carter-Wood Dolls. All dolls on display are made on the premises and appear quite life-like. A special feature is the world famous two metre carousel with twenty five dancing horses.
Visitors can inspect the workshop.
