Samanthe-1923 American LaFrance Fire Truck

Samanthe is a 1923 American LaFrance fire truck and was Brenham's first motorized pumper. She has been fully restored to her original condition by the Texas Fire Museum in Dallas.

There were only 34 fire engines of this type manufactured between 1900 and the 1930's. Samanthe is only 1 of 3 that still exist.

She is housed in the Brenham Fire Company Museum at the corner of Alamo and Market in Historic Downtown Brenham.

Flying Horses Antique Carousel

This weekend marked the reopening of the fully restored Flying Horses Antique Carousel, located in Fireman's Park here in Brenham, Texas.

This carousel is one of 8 that still exist in Texas today and is the only example of a C.W. Parker carousel with Herschell-Spillman horses. It is one of the few known examples specifically built for a traveling carnival.

The carousel is housed in a unique 16 sided WPA building and was built sometime between 1895 & 1906.

This weekend the carousel was open on Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday from 1-4. The admission fee was a $1.00 /person/ride.
