Description
The Trimper’s Carousel is the oldest continually operational carousel in America. It’s been operational – sitting in the same spot since Daniel Trimper purchased it in 1912 from the Herschell-Spillman Company in New York. It was carved by German artists over 100 years ago.
Granville Trimper was the family patriarch running the Trimper operation until his death in 2008. His wife, Joanne was known for her love of the Carousel. She often rode it and had a favorite horse— the white horse decked with deep red roses and a powder turquoise sash.
When Joanne died, Granville had the carousel etched onto the grave marker with Joanne’s favorite horse right in the center. Then the Trimper family named that horse in her honor – Forever Joanne.
So if you’re in Ocean City, you might find yourself in the Carousel House checking out these beautiful works of art. And give a special scratch behind the ears to Forever Joanne and see if you can sense Joanne Trimper’s presence and her Chrystal perfume. Some say her presence can still be felt there…
