Millions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Since they went 
extinct, humans and other mammals have evolved to become the world's 
most dominant species, but that doesn't mean that dinosaurs have been 
forgotten. <br />
Quite the opposite, actually. Dinosaurs have been 
extremely popular over the past few decades. In fact, they're so popular
 that a theme park in Irish Hill, Michigan, opened in 1963 that was 
completely dedicated to dinosaurs. The remnants still litter the forests
 of Irish Hill to this day.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The park was exquisite for its time.</h3>
