Horseback Riding Traditional Geocache

Welcome to Brenham's very historic and antique carousel. Cache will only hold a log so bring your own pen! You do not have to climb into the flowerbed to find it, nor move any foliage. Please be respectful of the landscaping and nature.

The horses themselves are thought to be carved by Charles W. Dare. The City's records indicate that in 1932 the carousel was found in a field next to a railroad track approximately 20 miles northeast of Brenham by some very community minded and enthusiastic citizens from Brenham and Washington County. It was purchased from the owner of the field and brought to Fireman's Park, restored, and used during the county fair that year. A 16-sided building, built by the WPA and thought to be one of the few left in Texas, was constructed to house the horses in 1935.
