Construction of the Zoo was led by Mike Lonergan. The field work was completed in the fall of 1993 with a tracked loader and a backhoe. A target of 6” of concrete were poured over the graded area. The building construction started on October 1st and was fully enclosed by the November work party. – Mike Lonergan
