About our programs


Picture
At the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum we seek to lay a foundation for students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), art, and history. We want to show students a historical side of STEM with a twist from our band organ’s use of binary coding to the network of simple machines that make up our 1916 carrousel. We are currently offering field trips, outreach, and virtual program options.

Virtual Programing


The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is dedicated to helping teachers, clubs, and youth programs provide educational offerings. We offer live, pre-recorded, and combined virtual programs.
