We will visit THE WORLD’S FAIR exhibit at the Missouri History Museum, with Phil Taxman being our docent guide.  The 1904 World’s Fair was a complex, fascinating event that continues to evoke a range of emotions. Now, 122 years after it opened in St. Louis, the 1904 World’s Fair exhibit will reintroduce you to the Fair and its legacy in a way you’ve never experienced before.

St. Louis was the center of the world in 1904. With multicultural exhibitions and architectural marvels that swept across nearly 1,200 acres of Forest Park, the 1904 World’s Fair (also known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition) was truly larger than life. Twenty million visitors attended this pivotal event in St. Louis history—one that continues to attract both awe and criticism over a century later.

After viewing the exhibit, we will have a short driving tour, showing buildings and sites from the Fair that are still around today, then head for lunch.   Lunch will be order from menu and pay your own tab at Rigazzis on the Hill.  There will be a $5 per car fee for JAGSL
