Allegany State Park Outdoor Museum - Civilian Conservation Corps on Waymarking.com

From the nearby informational sign:
A foundation is all that remains of a pavilion-style, outdoor museum, built by Company 249 of the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was one of the first CCC projects completed in Allegany State Park.

Articles in the Salamanca Republican-Press announced the opening of the outdoor museum/zoo on October 1, 1933, describing the structure and some of its fascinating creatures. Concrete tanks in the center of the structure housed fish and turtles. Cages and other exhibits sat on the walls or were hung from overhead supports.

Near the outdoor museum were a snake pit and a bear den, both of which are still visible. Since the museum was only open during the summer, captive animals were released back into the wild at the end of the season.
