Carousels and Carvings will bring the carousel's mechanisms to the Midwest to restore it in-house. The horses will remain in Hampton, however.

A group of Hampton locals is pushing to keep a century-old merry-go-round where it is. City leaders are considering the short and long-term future of the space.

Public feedback was largely unenthusiastic about options Hampton presented for relocation of the carousel, with many preferring for it to remain at its current waterfront site next to the Virginia Air and Space Science Center.
