MUSEUM OPEN HOUSE & NEW CAROUSEL HORSE
During the Sea Isle City Historical Museum’s Holiday Open House on December 3, the Historical Society commemorated the arrival of its newest artifact, a vintage carousel horse that was nearly lost during the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962. The horse, which was created by celebrated German-born craftsman Gustav Dentzel, was rescued by a local property owner after the storm destroyed Sea Isle’s boardwalk and merry-go-round – and, after six decades, the horse has finally returned home to Sea Isle City.
