Summary

Description
English: A young man poses next to an alligator lying in the grass near a pond, with many more alligators lying or swimming along the shore.
Historical Background: The California Alligator Farm, located at 3627 Mission Road adjacent to Lincoln Park, was owned by Francis Earnest and his partner Joe Campbell. Visitors were given a tour of the farm, an opportunity to see trained alligators perform tricks, and, if they were brave, to touch the alligators. In 1941, the farm was advertised as owning 1,000 alligators. The farm operated in Lincoln Park from 1907 to 1953, when the Alligator Farm was moved to Buena Park. After low attendance in the early 1980s, the farm in Buena Park closed.
