Located at 109 9th Avenue South, the carousel is one of the community's most cherished spots. It was built in 1925 and still has 19 of its original 20 horses. Bob Ketterling, a beloved resident of Faulkton, purchased the carousel in 1981, and began offering free rides to residents and visitors alike. When he died in 1988, the town dubbed itself "Carousel City" in his honor. The town bought the carousel from Bob's widow, and continues to run it every year between Memorial Day and Labor Day.


Built by John and Alice Pickler in 1882, it's a three-story, 20 room mansion that hosted many events and even a few celebrities during its heydey. Tours are offered Memorial Day through Labor Day.

You'll find Burger Shack at 1418 Main Street.









The Burger Shack is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. during winter months; in the summer it's open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
