I recently discovered 16mm color home movies of the Detroit Zoo in the mid-1940s taken by my grandfather. Nice shots of all of the exhibits, the old train, etc., edited into sections. Had them transferred and uploaded to YouTube today - in three parts due to the YouTube 10-minute limit. Hope you enjoy this previously unseen footage!
