The Elmwood Park Zoo is located in Norristown, Pennsylvania. The zoo first opened in 1924, when a private landowner donated a small piece of property and a handful of White Tailed Deer to the Borough of Norristown. The zoo continued to be operated by the borough until 1985 when the Norristown Zoological Society- a group of community minded citizens who oversaw programs and donated their time and money to support the zoo- became an official non-profit organization and assumed control from the Borough of Norristown. 1989 beagn the plan for expansion of the zoo and with it finally being complete in 2002, this plan saw the zoo expand in size from eight to sixteen acres. In the Newbery Medal-winning fiction book ''Maniac Magee'', the titular character lives briefly in the bison pen of the Elmwood Park Zoo. ==Gallery== File:Elmwood Park Zoo 02.JPG File:Elmwood Park Zoo 04.JPG|Bald and Golden eagles File:Elmwood Park Zoo 11.JPG|Union Pacific Railroad caboose File:Elmwood Park Zoo 12.JPG|Prairie dog exhibit File:Giraffe at Elmwood Park Zoo 03.JPG|Giraffe feeding 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elmwood Park Zoo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
