It was constructed by the Allan Herschell Company. It is one of six carousels donated to the citizens of Broome County by George F. Johnson (1857–1948), president of Endicott Johnson Corporation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Other carousels located in the Greater Binghamton Region:
