Paden Park Pavilion Carousel & Organ
By Charles Davis

Hello MMDers,  Does anyone have any information regarding a large
carousel located at the Paden Park Pavilion in Paden City, West
Virginia, in the very early 1900s?  There was only a mention of one
in a story about the Wetzel and Tyler Railway (trolley car system)
in the summer 2011 edition of the Goldenseal magazine.  It was not
named or otherwise described in any detail at all.  I know this is
a "stretch" but I wanted to ask.
