This photograph captures a family standing outside of a building in Fulton County, Indiana, in 1918. The family is composed of five individuals and a small dog. They appear to be visiting an aviary and zoo, as indicated by the signage in the background. The attire of the people, including the woman's ornate hat and long dress, reflects the fashion of that era.During this period, visiting local zoos and aviaries was a popular family outing, providing entertainment and education about different animals. The inclusion of such attractions within communities was part of a broader movement to make natural history and zoology more accessible to the public. Fulton County, known for its rural charm, likely offered such establishments as a recreational venue for its residents.Visible text in the image includes "MENAGE" on a sign above the building and "AVIARY AND ZOO"; "ENTR" can also be partially seen, likely indicating an entrance.
