1904 World’s Fair – Zoom Presentation

December 6, 2023 @ 7:00 pm 8:30 pm

1904 World’s Fair and Bellefontaine Cemetery

119 years ago, St. Louis welcomed 20 million visitors to the Grandest of World’s Fairs from April 30 through December 1, 1904. David R. Francis, President of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, was vital in securing this event for the City of St. Louis. All eyes turned to St. Louis as the new century was on display in the fair’s larger-than-life palaces, and new technology was front and center throughout the Fair Grounds. In our presentation, we will identify and explain some of the key figures in the creation and execution of the 1904 World’s Fair. Those who are featured in these presentations are forever at rest at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum.

Make it a date night, a family night, or enjoy the presentation by yourself. Reservations are required, so please sign up today!
