About Gerard Crane
An early menagerie (circus) entrepreneur, Gerard Crane built the famed Gerard Crane House on the Somerstown Turnpike (Rt. 202) in Somers, NY, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1849 of stone in the Greek Revival style and meticulously restored in the second half of the 20th century, it is currently remains a private home.
His menagerie career began shortly after Crane moved to Somers in 1807 with his brother, Thaddeus, Jr. By 1815, they formed a menagerie with the Tituses of North Salem and – according to tax rolls – were already thriving. In 1818, Crane traveled the countryside with a lion and a lioness. In 1851, he retired from the menagerie business, returning to Somers and his family full time.
