Eugene "Zim" Zimmerman

 

Eugene Zimmerman, known as “Zim,” was a nationally renowned caricaturist and resident of Horseheads. He was the president of the American Association for Cartoonists and Caricaturists and created illustrated correspondence course textbooks in cartooning, comic art, and caricature that were used across the United States. He created ads that were used in the local area and cartooned and lampooned prominent citizens in books such as A Foolish History of Horseheads. Zim also designed the bandstand in Teal Park, which was dedicated on September 15, 1910. His daughter, Laura, donated his house and its contents to the Horseheads Historical Society upon her death in 1980.
