In celebration of Peter Cook's legacy to Grand Rapids, the Public Museum is providing one free carousel ride to all visitors on Tuesday, Dec. 7. Beginning in 2011, the Museum will also offer free rides every year on Peter's birthday, May 9.
Peter and Pat Cook assisted the Museum in leading a community campaign to acquire the antique carousel in 1981 and to build the glass and stone pavilion, which houses the carousel and bears their name.
The fully-restored 1928 Spillman Engineering Co. Carousel with its 50 hand-carved horses and menagerie animals continues to delight visitors at the GRPM and will forever be remembered as an amazing gift.
The Museum will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Dec. 7. Each guest that day will receive a free ride pass at the front desk. For more information, go to www.grmuseum.org or call (616) 456-3977.
