The World’s Fairs in Chicago

Friday, March 10

1:00 – 2:00 P.M.         Donation: $7

Chicago had a second World’s Fair forty years after the Columbian Exposition of 1893. Like the First World’s Fair, it was constructed against all odds with a built-in Dr. Holmes in the form of Al Capone.

Registration required.
