The Seneca white deer herd is the world's largest herd of all white, white-tail deer. It is located at Deer Haven Park in Romulus, NY USA. Deer Haven Park consists of more than 3000 acres of land that was once part of the Historic Seneca Army Depot. The Seneca Army Depot was in service from 1941 - 2000 and was the Army's largest storage facility for nuclear weapons and other ammunition during its time. The depot was a "closed" military base and had a 24-mile fence surrounding its entire perimeter. This unique situation allowed the white deer to thrive and multiply with little threat from predators and hunters. Today, Deer Haven Park maintains and preserves a portion of the former military base and offers tours of this unique ecosystem and these Majestic Seneca white deer.
