Shot on 8mm film in 1965, this vintage home movie captures three young American boys at a petting zoo in Concord, New Hampshire. Dressed in classic 1960s attire—shorts, polo shirts, and a blue cap—the children gently interact with a small deer, one reaching out to pet its head. The sun-drenched scene, with sandy ground and rock formations, evokes a nostalgic summer day. The footage features natural film grain and slight camera movement, preserving the authentic charm of a family outing from the mid-1960s.
