The Monkey Farm In-Person
Originally known as Yale Laboratories for Primate Biology, the “Monkey Farm” was a scientific research center begun by psychobiologist, Dr. Robert M. Yerkes, renowned for his 1920s studies on chimpanzees. Yale Laboratories opened in Orange Park in 1930. It was renamed the Yerkes Laboratory of Primate Biology upon Dr. Yerkes’ retirement in 1941. Emory University assumed ownership of the lab in 1961 and by 1965 transferred the center to their Atlanta, GA campus, where it remains today.
Presented by the Historical Society of Orange Park.
