There was a zoo, Pinnacle Park Zoo. There will be a program about the zoo on August 6 as part of the Historical Society Program Series for 2019.

Thank you for this information, a somewhat obscure lakes region attraction. From what little I could find out about the place, it closed in 1939 {one year after} the great hurricane of "38". There is some information in the book Meredith Chronicles - Passing Time on Lake Winnipesaukee. From what I read it was called "Roberts Pinnacle Park Zoo" after Charles Roberts. Opened and closed long before my time.
With regard to escaped animals, one of the monkeys escaped and from what little there was to read about it they had a tough time recapturing it.
Thanks again for posting that info.
