920 E. State Street
Lafayette
Relive the experiences of visitors to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, and learn why it was called the “Greatest World’s Fair Ever.” Bob Haan will walk you through the Fair, starting with the Louisiana Purchase and ending with the wrecking ball. In between, you’ll visit the magnificent palaces, see the statuary, take a gondola ride in the Great Basin, see exotic places as you tour the Pike, and visit the Philippines exhibit with 30 native tribes.
All of this will occur in one of the few surviving buildings from the World’s Fair…the Connecticut Building, now the home of the Haan Museum. Afterwards, guests may go to the second floor to view the “St. Louis World’s Fair: Celebrating 115 Years” special exhibition.
Fee: $15 Admission (includes lunch). Reservations are required, as seating is limited.
