HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - Built in 1920, the Hampton Carousel is completely restored to its original beauty and housed in its own weather-protected pavilion on the city’s downtown waterfront. Allen Hoilman, Curator at the Hampton History Museum, joins us with a little bit of history and helps us get ready for National Merry-Go-Round Day and the carousel's 100th anniversary.
