Her talk will explore the importance of the Fair (cultural, scientific and technological), facts about Fair attendance, an overview of the Fair grounds and Midway (how many and what type of buildings), what was exhibited at the Fair (products, technology, scientific and cultural displays), as well as the legacy of the Fair itself.
