Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel (Stodden Park)
Butte, MT
From collectors
On July 2018 The Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel opened to the public. The original Columbia Gardens Carousel closed, then burned down in 1973. Each of the new 35 horses were hand-carved, hand-sanded, and hand-painted. They also built low-riding carriages for less-mobile riders. The process took over 20 years to complete.
Hours of operation: Thursday and Friday 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday 12:00 pm (noon) to 6:00 pm. Closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Call ahead to verify seasonal hours. Plenty of free parking.
To roll the penny of the mine truck, you need to have the arrow positioned between the mine truck picture and the full carousel horse picture.
Machine 1 is inside the entrance to the carousel. Cost to press: 51¢ each design. Designs all have a beaded border:
1) Logo with 'Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel'.
2) Carousel horse with 'Spirit of Columbia Gardens Carousel'.
3) Huge dirt hauling truck with 'Butte, Montana'.
4) Mining tower and building with 'Butte, Montana'.

9/10/2026: The machine initially rolled poorly, but when I showed the employee, he fixed it on the spot & made sure I had a full set rolled perfectly. The nicest guy, we talked for an hour.
