Where is the Rod Serling star located?
Carousels
Binghamton has been called the “Carousel Capital of the United States” because of the 6 functioning regional carousels commissioned by George F. Johnson between 1920 and 1934. The price of admission was a piece of trash picked up from the park in order to keep the park clean.
Which Binghamton parks have carousels?
According to local history buffs, “which way EJ?” was the question that many arriving immigrants, many of whom were from Southern and Eastern Europe, asked upon arrival at Ellis Island.
