CLIFTON, NJ – The Clifton Arts Center is planning a “Clifton Quarantine Station” exhibit for November – December of 2024. This will be a comprehensive historical representation of the United States Animal Quarantine Station situated in Clifton, focusing on the period from 1900 to 1979 when the barns housed exotic birds, prized cows, race horses, elephants, giraffes, musk oxen, camels and more!
This exhibit will delve into specific historic themes surrounding the development and operations of animal inspections during this period. It will also present the stringent standards established by the United States Department of Agriculture to safeguard the nation’s livestock and poultry from foreign diseases.
