The Flying Horses Carousel is the oldest operating platform carousel in America. This carousel, one of two similar carousels built by the Charles W. Dare Company, was built in 1876 and was brought to Oak Bluffs in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts in 1884 where, to date, it remains in operation. Flying Horses Carousel was obtained by the Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust in 1986. It is listed as a National Historic Landmark.
