They note four remnants: the Palace of Fine Arts (rebuilt and now the Museum of Science and Industry); the Wooded Island; an original ticket booth now standing in Oak Park; and the 1918 “Golden Lady” statue, which is a reduced replica of the original 65-foot “Big Mary” Statue of the Republic. Their map of Jackson Park, allowing you to slide between 1893 and 2018, is a fun feature.
There are many more vestiges of the 1893 World’s Fair—big and small—scattered around Chicagoland and the world. We are working to create an inventory of them and add them to our map of WCE sites to see. Artifacts of the great Chicago fair include the original the restored Viking Ship in Geneva, Illinois, the Pabst Pavilion in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the Maine State Building re-erected in Poland Springs, Maine.
