Birth | 3 January 1791 | Gerard Crane was born on 3 January 1791 in North Salem, Westchester County, New York. |
Occupation | 1818 | In 1818 Gerard worked in Somers, Westchester County, New York, as an animal exhibitor. As early as 1818, Gerard and his brother, Thaddeus, traveled the countryside exhibiting a lion and lioness. He went on to a long career managing traveling circuses. He was involved with a number of other local men over time in various business arrangements with traveling menageries and circuses. The Somers Historical Society has a very good nine-page web coverage called Beasts and Ballyhoo, The Menagerie Men of Somers . Page 5 of the website talks about Gerard, and the whole presentation is well worth reading. www.circushistory.org, presenting the research of Stuart Thayer, quotes George F. Bailey (1818-1903) as saying "I am the only survivor of the Flatfoots, originally comprising Lewis Titus, John June, Jesse Smith, and Thad and Gerard Crane." The website continues, "Titus, June and Smith were partners in June, Titus, Angevine & Co. (along with Caleb S. Angevine), successors to the National Menagerie of 1832 and 1833. The Cranes were long in the business, going back as far as 1820." The Flatfoots was evidently a nickname for one of their business incarnations. A number of the same principals grouped and regrouped under various names through the 1800's: The Zoological Institute, June, Titus, Angevine & Co., the National Menagerie, Van Amburgh & Co., and later G. F. Bailey's Circus, and later still P.T. Barnum's Circus. |

In May of 2017, 115 acres that were once part of the farm were donated to the Somers Land Trust for preservation as open space, a gift from the Beshar family, who owned the home until 2017. |
