Grand Rapids Public Museum

In celebration of Peter Cook's legacy to Grand Rapids, the Museum is providing free carousel rides to all on his birthday.

Peter and his wife Pat led a community campaign to acquire the Museum's antique carousel in 1981 and to build the glass and stone pavilion that houses the carousel and bears their name.

The fully-restored 1928 carousel with its 50 hand-carved horses and menagerie animals continues to delight Museum visitors and will forever be remembered as an amazing gift!
