The story of one woman's remarkable 25-year odyssey to restore the
beloved carousel at Brooklyn Bridge Park In 1983 a dream to revive
the Dumbo area of Brooklyn was underway. Part of that plan was a
carousel and it fell to Jane Walentas to find one. After extensive
research, she located an intact 1922 example with 48 exquisitely
carved horses—and then embarked on a two-plus decade restoration
mission to return the historic attraction to its original elegance.
After painstaking work, Walentas's next hurdle was to secure a spot
in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Finally, in September 2011, Jane's
Carousel opened to the public and has since become a beloved New
York City destination.
