The Seneca Army Depot, originally named the Seneca Ordinance, was located between Seneca and Cayuga lakes in Seneca County, New York. The Seneca Army Depot was one of 4 US Military ammunition storage facilities built at the beginning of WWII. Built in 1941, it stored ammunition, weapons and atomic material from the Manhattan Project, and later came to be the nation's largest storage facility for nuclear weapons. The Seneca Army Depot was comprised of 10,587 acres and was home to the world's largest herd of all white, white-tail deer. The depot was decommissioned in the late 1990's. Today it is home to the 3,000 acre Deer Haven Park, where these Majestic Seneca white deer still reside.

Deer Haven Park is located in Romulus, NY USA and is home to the Seneca white deer herd, the world's largest herd of all white, white-tail deer! 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.
