Nostalgia buffs will enjoy reading
about Benson's Wild Animal Farm and Circus, which was founded in the
1920s by John T. Benson, an Englishman and dealer in exotic animals.
On a Sunday, parents and eager children would travel on the Jungle
Train from Boston to visit the farm. The train ride and admission to
the farm were covered by a combination ticket. The train would be
welcomed by a white robed figure sitting on a camel. Many historic
photographs will bring back memories. The park, which later changed
its name to the New England Playworld, closed in 1987.
