Take I-195 East to Exit 4 (Riverside) to Veterans Memorial Parkway to Pawtucket Avenue, straight ahead to carousel (Approx 3 mi.) Saved in the 1970's by a handful of residents, the Crescent Park Carousel was placed on the National Register of Historic sites and places in 1976. In 1985 the Rhode Island General Assembly proclaimed the Carousel as the State Jewel of American Folk Art and in 1987, the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, designated the Carousel as a National Historic Landmark.
