Catskill Game Farm, Former zoological park in Greene County, United States.
The Catskill Game Farm extended across 914 acres of land, housing 2000 animals from 150 different species during its operational period.
Founded by banker Roland Lindemann in 1933, this establishment earned recognition as the first privately owned zoo in the United States by 1958.
The facility maintained a substantial breeding program, supplying numerous animals to zoos worldwide while limiting public access to 136 acres for seasonal visits.
The property now functions as The Long Neck Inn, offering five guest rooms and four campsites within the renovated grounds of the former animal park.
The original giraffe barn underwent transformation into accommodations, incorporating exhibits of Game Farm memorabilia throughout the building interior.
