This National Register of Historic Places landmark features a reconstruction of the original ‘A’ frame or “gallows” style railroad turntable used to turn locomotives around and provide access to the roundhouse. It was rebuilt on the original pivot stone.  Today, it is the centerpiece for the annual Christmas tree lighting and seasonal ice-skating rink.
