I am currently working on the years 1934 through 1941. I have this photo of my dad on a Merry-Go-Round. Does this location look familiar to anyone?
Where is the Merry-Go-Round?

I am quite sure that this is at High Point, NJ. (It is the highest point in NJ)
This is where the Sunday School went for their yearly picnic.
They had swings and slides and this merry go round that had to be pushed by someone while the others sat and went around on it!
Also there was a place to go swimming I’m not sure if it was a river or a lake, but the water was always cold! Almost like brook water and that is cold!
There was a building there something like a lodge and the view was over 4 states, on a clear day, I believe if I remember right.
It was a yearly tradition. The adults brought good food to eat and it was an all day affair. It was fun.
