The VISION of the Carousel at Pottstown is
to be the catalyst for Pottstown’s downtown
revitalization and to return revenue to the community
with profits of the operating carousel. Free-standing
carousels can attract over 225,000 riders and
even more visitors a year. This will:
- Improve Property Values
- Stimulate Employment
- Dissipate Crime
- Enhance the Quality of Life
- Encourage Home Ownership
Less than 150 all wood grand carousels remain
in North America today, and Pottstown owns one
of them. >

Pottsgrove
Manor |
| |
The manor house exemplifies the restrained elegance of early
Georgian architecture popular with wealthy English gentry during the mid-18th
century. Built in 1752 for John Potts, ironmaster and founder of Pottstown, the
mansion was situated on a 1,000 acre plantation, which by 1762 included the town
of "Pottsgrove."
As a successful ironmaster and merchant, John Potts, was appointed Justice of
the Peace and Judge on the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas. He was
elected to the Pennsylvania General Assembly from both Berks and Philadelphia
Counties.
Although only four acres of original property remain today, Pottsgrove Manor
has lost none of its original charm and architectural beauty. The sandstone exterior,
elegant interior and fine furnishings reflect the eminence that the Potts family
had attained before selling the property in 1783. The mansion has been restored
to recreate the lifestyle and times of the Potts family. Today there are educational
demonstrations in the "Hands–on-Room".
