Brookfield Zoo is celebrating its 75th birthday this year. Since 1934 the Chicago Zoological Society and Brookfield Zoo have lead the word in animal care and conservation, medicine, and exhibition. Both organizations have been pioneers in educating the public about protecting the world’s threatened wildlife and ecosystems. Check out their website for more information on the great initiatives and projects these institutions are promoting. Better yet, take a trip out there this summer and enjoy the exciting exhibits and programs truly designed for family fun and education. http://www.czs.org/czs/Brookfield/Zoo-Home.aspx">At The Zoo
Instead of just one birthday card for the zoo, I believe a 75th birthday deserves a few extra. The above Curt Teich postcards document the Brookfield Zoo from 1935 through 1976.

I have several of those postcards. I bought them because I worked in the refreshment stands there for a couple of summers in the 1960s.
