Six years ago, we started this website to share our interest in the 1893 World’s Fair with others. We have greatly enjoyed populating the site with research articles, historic images, announcements, and occasional amusements. Most of all, we’ve been honored hearing from researchers, collectors, curators, archivists, authors, artists, and curious readers who find this site useful. Looking back six years …
- Our most-read post is “Death of the Republic: The fiery end to the golden colossus of the 1893 World’s Fair“.
- One of the most-visited addition to our website are the interactive maps under the Fairgrounds section
- A very popular image is “Picturesque World’s Fair – Interior of the Mining Building“
- One of our more popular reprints is “The Making of the White City” by H. C. Bunner
- The tastiest post was about “Maillard’s Mammoth Chocolate Statues“
- One of our weirder topics was “Hiding the pickle at the 1893 World’s Fair“
- And a head-scratcher is the continuing popularity of “Virility on the Midway: “The Longest Beard in the World” (Death Valley Days, 1956)“
We hope you enjoy exploring these posts as much as we have in creating them. We have many fascinating research articles and images in preparation for Year Seven!
