SUMMARY:1904 World's Fair - Zoom Presentation
DESCRIPTION:1904 World’s Fair and Bellefontaine Cemetery\n\n\n\nOver 120 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.

Those who are featured in these presentations are forever at rest at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum. \nMake it a date night\, a family night\, or enjoy the presentation by yourself.
