Will Red Grooms' whimsical, wonderful Tennessee Fox Trot Carousel ride again?
The museum is seeking private partners to restore and operate the 36-figure artwork after more than 20 years in storage.
- Nashville was home to the Tennessee Fox Trot Carousel, a unique sculpture-carousel created by artist Red Grooms around the turn of the century with 36 whimsical horse figures inspired by Tennessee.
- The carousel was located on the riverfront near downtown Nashville but faced financial difficulties due to the area's underdeveloped tourist appeal at the time.
- After financial issues, the carousel was disassembled and stored by the Tennessee State Museum, which is seeking private partners to restore and operate it again.
- There is debate about whether the carousel is primarily an artwork or intended as a rideable attraction, as noted by involved parties.
