Bret Bronson practically shared a home with elephants. But he hardly recognizes that home away from home now, 15 years after he and his pachyderms said goodbye to the 165-acre tract that was once Benson’s Wild Animal Farm. The town of Hudson has converted the once-popular destination spot into a lush recreational reserve, with the hopes of again drawing the masses.

Sure, it was huge, full of fun rides and oddball sights, and loaded with animals you'd usually have to leave the United States to see. But still, you'd think it would get old after a while, given it was so close by, right in our proverbial backyards. Not so. After all, this was "The Strangest Farm on Earth." Nobody, no matter how many times they'd been there, would ever turn down another stroll through the enchanted pathways and curious attractions of Hudson's famous Benson's Wild Animal Farm.

Bensons Wild Animal Farm was founded in 1924 by John T. Benson. Benson was a famous wild animal trainer for circuss and Hollywood. He bought some land in what was then Hudson Centre (now Hudson), and started a wild animal farm and training business. In 1943, John Benson died and the park was purchased by a group of Benson's executives.
