The Brownstein | Selkowitz Carousel Pavilion sits on the northwestern edge of Mill River Park. Inside a small building, the David & Marian Nissen Carousel features 30 handcrafted animals. The pavilion "is named after Arthur and Betsey Selkowitz and Don and Lisa Brownstein who were the lead donors to the cost of the Pavilion," and broke ground in 2015. The carousel is said to be inspired by David and Marian Nissen's travels, boasting the best, handcarved horses and animals available.
Mill River Park is slightly older than the pavilion and carousel--it's design began in 1997, but opened to the public in 2013. The park was intentionally designed to restore and revitalize the city's greenspace. The park itself features the Rippowam River, "a name given to the meandering waterway by the native Algonquin peoples who once inhabited its banks." The "lower nine miles of the Rippowam courses through the center of what is now Downtown Stamford and was coined Mill River in 1642, when the area’s first Puritan settlers dammed the river to create the town’s original gristmill."

On to the cache! You are looking for a micro cache that is accessible to all (you might need tweezers). It is located outside and away from the carousel, but from its vantage point, you have a charming view of the animals and park. Take a seat, take it all in, and get down to the nuts and bolts.
Congratulations to FlegonFamily! FlegonFamily is the first to find the cache!
