The Allan Herschell 3-Abreast Carousel is a carousel built in 1916 by the Allan Herschell Company. It features 35 hand-carved jumping wooden horses and two hand-carved chariots which serve as benches. The carousel is one of only four large carousels made by the Allan Herschell Company between 1915 and 1927; in addition, the horses on the outer rim feature gentle faces and detailed, deep woodwork, making them a rarity among the company's designs. It is owned by the Perron family.^[2]^: 12

After likely operating in an amusement park in the eastern United States, the carousel moved to Seaport Village in San Diego, in 1977; then it was restored in 1997; then it began operating in Chase Palm Park in Santa Barbara, California, in 1999.^[3]

The carousel listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.^[2]

The company broke its lease due to winter revenues in 2017. The facility closed after a weekend carnival in early December, 2017, with free rides for everyone. Then the carousel itself has been relocated to a museum of historically significant carousels in Hood River, Oregon^[4] which is scheduled to open in 2019.
