Besides Monroe County carousels there is also a mention of carousels outside the county, including Long Point Park (Geneseo), Roseland (Canadaigua), and others. In addition to telling the stories of the current carousels, author Linda M. Bartash traces the history of former local carousels through different states, countries, and to their present whereabouts. However, these carousels do not have to be forgotten. Many carousels that operated within Rochester, New York and beyond are long-gone. The book has more than 65 photographs.
