The Buffalo Heritage Carousel officially opened on Friday, May 28, 2021. The carousel is vintage. It's a restored De Angelis Carousel, according to a press release I received. The Buffalo Heritage Carousel is a custom-designed, vintage carousel, which was manufactured in 1924 by Spilllman Engineering in North Tonawanda.
