Echo Fun
Has History

Believe it or not, one of the most
popular attractions at Glen Echo
Park is also the oldest, according
to Clarence Hurt, experimenting
the carrousel.

tory of the carrousel, or perhaps
it's merry-go-round to the majority
of folks" said Mr.. Hurt yesterday,
land it's curious to note that some
form of the merry-go-round is to
be found in every corner of the
globe.
I'm Siam, the Conga, China and
India, every type of round-abouts
or carrouSelS have been discovered.
Probably the first merry-go-round
which looked anything like the
one at Glen Echo was made in
England in the sixteenth century.
1t had wooden benches on a cir
cular platform revolved by hand.
Some ingenious person replaced
the bench with a hobby horse and
used a mule to turn it. Today the
magnificent carrouSel, with its
prancing horses, camel, lions,
giraffes, its gorgeous chariots and
band music, is a far cry from
those primitive ways, yet the car
rousel, although nearly 400 years
old, is still a popular attraction
at Glen Echo.
"Or, other rides are popular, too,
but nearly everybody who visits
the park rides the carrousel-or
nerry-go-round as most folks like
to call it,"
