Claude M. Conley as a young boy had a vision of someday having his own zoo. At the young age of 10, he started with 2 peacocks. Continuing to realize his dream, he purchased the first herd of buffalo I the state of Tennessee from Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge of Lawton, Ok in 1963. Today over 60 species, the vision continues to grow through sons Claude and Jon.
