EVENTS
Our final Historical Society program for the autumn season will be this Sunday, November 16, starting at 2:00 PM at the McGuire Room at the Traverse Area District Library.
Our presentation will be on the History of the Clinch Park Zoo and the Traverse City Miniature City.
Do you remember talking to Ace the crow, riding the Spirit of Traverse City miniature train, or even pressing a penny down at Traverse City’s Clinch Park Zoo? Both visitors and locals alike have childhood memories of this long-time downtown fixture.
Jennifer Loup, former Clinch Park Zookeeper and History BA graduate from University of Michigan will present the history of the Clinch Park aquarium, animals, and attractions from the early 1930s through the dissolving of the zoo in 2007.
If joining via Zoom, please register HERE. Either in person or virtually, please join us for this wonderful program.
