When finished, the Southern Maryland Carousel and Woodcarving Museum will be the only one of its kind in Maryland. The planned 10,000 to 12,000 square foot facility will feature many amenities, including a hand-carved mix of new carousel animals and restored antique horses, ponies, chariots, rounding boards and mirrors. It will be home to a wonderful fountain complex providing fun and enjoyment to children of all ages. Also there will be a fully operational band organ, a gift shop, and  a special events room.

The woodcarving and learning center will be designed to provide continuous, year-round activities. Since a carousel provides a natural array of themes-including horses, motion, the visual arts, arts and craft, music, nostalgia and especially children, the entire complex will enhance many activities in Southern Maryland.

The vision includes school competition in woodworking, arts and crafts--including having county schools adopt their mascots on the carousel.
