The Historical Association of South Haven is pleased to welcome Peter Cook, Executive Director at the North Berrien Historical Museum, for a nostalgic look back at Deer Forest, the iconic theme park in Coloma.
In its 65 years of operation, millions of people visited Deer Forest to pet and feed animals such as deer, llamas, and peacocks. Although the park closed in 2014, the legacy of Deer Forest lives on. Peter Cook will present a power point that tells the unique history of this beloved West Michigan attraction.
Before becoming the Executive Director at the North Berrien Historical Museum, Cook served as the Director of Programs and Outreach from 2018-2023. He grew up in Kalamazoo and received his Bachelor of Arts in Public History from Western Michigan University.
The program will take place on Wednesday, June 11, 7pm at the Historical Association’s Hartman School headquarters, located at 355 Hubbard St. The presentation is free and open to the public.
