If you are like us when you see the name you wonder when did NASA put a farm, zoo, and museum in orbit. Or was it one of the billionaires? Turns out Space is the last name of the man who put it all together, Ralph Space. His son, Fred Space, wrote a book about his father and his endeavors.

The farm, zoo, and museum is not far from Newton, NJ and we visited the site on Wednesday.

Although there are many animals here they are all behind fences and many of them behind two fences to keep people from sticking their hands and fingers inside the fence. We are not a fan of taking photos thru fences so will not post pictures of the animals. There are two acceptations of chickens. At the front of the building a roster seems to keep watch and remained in the same spot for our entire stay.
Guard roster
There was an interesting chicken that had free roam of the grounds and was worthy of a photo.
The museums were interesting and full of old cars, tool, motorcycles, etc.
1918 Harley-Davison
Model T Ford
My Dad had a 1923 Model T that he cherished. For years people would stop by his body and fender shop and try to buy the old car. He would not sell and I once remember him being under a car working and someone came in with an offer to buy and Dad would not even come out from under the car.
