XV. Historic Carousels and Curious Public Art

Honestly, I had no idea where to slot in Connecticut’s historic carousels – of which there are a lot, oddly enough – and decided to throw in whatever interesting permanent public art displays I come across. Some of the stuff there will merely link to other sections as I arbitrarily see fit. And Alexander Calder stuff doesn’t count, since he lived in Roxbury, his sculptures are EVERYWHERE.
