In reply to Sharon. You might reach out to the Buster's to see if they've located a copy. I see from my own web site that the digital image came to me from Beechwold resident Wendy Bayer. I notice that the marginalia on this image says "gave original to Columbus Historical Society" plus a few other words running off the scanned image. Wendy may know what those missing words are. And hopefully Cols HS still has the original and can find it!

As a child, I lived on Leland Ave. Two streets over from the Old Beechwold Zoo. I have just recently learned of Zooland in Old Beechwold. As Mary Lynn Buster wrote in a comment on Sept. 29th 2017 I would love a copy of the print of Zooland from Old Beechwold. I would love to learn the history of this zoo.
I lived on Leland from 1948 to 1969 and had never heard about the zoo.

Thank you

Shirley – my husband and you corresponded years ago and our home is actually published in your book. We would love to have a copy of the print of Zooland from Old Beechwold to enlarge and hang in our home. Any idea how we can get a copy of this terrific piece?

In reply to Eric Pahlke. Sorry, I do not, and I no longer have any notes associated with this article. (I gave all my files to the Clintonville Historical Society.) I know that the article came originally from the Columbus Metropolitan Library and they may have that information.

Do you have a date for the article Mr. Roshon wrote entitled An Early Zoo in Columbus?
