Gorilla Cage at Benson's Animal Farm - Sept 11 2009

Old abandoned gorilla cage at Benson's Animal Farm, Hudson, NH. I had a strange sense of the past bustling activity there, even though it has been abandoned for some 22 years.

(NOTE: I may repost this video with mysterious music, like you might hear on LOST or something like that)

Took a walk to the old ruins of an abandoned animal park. Very strange! The location is now a skeleton of what it used to be. Very vast area overgrown and in the middle of a swamp land now. I was just waiting for something to jump out at me.

Dane Cook did a well known comedy sketch about this place, and having driven by this place for the past 5 years weekly or daily, I had no idea an old petting zoo was just beyond the trees on the side of the road. A neat discovery, since I am too young to remember it ever being open.
