Idora Park Merry-Go-Round is a wooden carousel that was built in 1899 for the Idora Park amusement park in Youngstown, Ohio. It was designed by Daniel C. Muller, a lead carver of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, who was also credited with its manufacture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 6, 1975, the first carousel to receive such designation.[2][3]

When Idora Park closed to the public in 1984, the carousel was bought at auction by a couple and moved to Brooklyn, New York for restoration.[4]

The merry-go-round is not currently listed in the National Register's database, having been delisted (having its listing status changed to "RN") on October 29, 1985.[5]
