In 1907 Benjamin Purnell announced plans to 
develop an amusement park in the large area which is now located between Britain and Empire Avenues in Benton Harbor, Michigan.  The park opened in 1908 and during its long impressive history included a zoo with lions, tigers and bears, miniature train rides, an aviary where peacocks roamed freely, live music and entertainment, the birth of the waffle cone and numerous other attractions.

    Our goal is to attempt to re-create a tour of The House of David's Eden Springs Park & Zoo. We hope to build a community of memories and images
shared and built by many for the enjoyment of all
