Second the recommendation for the Dentzel carousel at Glen Echo Park
-- it is marvellous. I was in DC on a trip and took the bus all the
way out to the end of the line to see it, and stumbled on to the folk
festival they hold out there every year.
There are also a lot of carousel animals scattered around the Smithsonian's
Museum of American History on the Mall, but when I was there, they were
mostly being used for decorative purposes -- there was no information on age,
maker, or probable source. Shabby treatment if you ask me
-- I hope that they've fixed that in the last few years.
