DAY 3 - WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION 1893
September 1, 2021
It was fascinating to learn that Chicago hosted the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893. This especially, presented Chicago to the world and only as a starting city. Chicago transformed its reputation through the events at the exposition. Chicago became known as a marvelous new city that attracted millions of people worldwide. To be known was a goal for Chicago, and through this fair, they were known. It would have been an experience to go, it makes you wonder what your thoughts of the fair would be. It was all new- including the first Ferris wheel, thank you Chicago and G.W.G. Ferris. At the fair, citizens got to listen to the many stories of women suffragettes, an inspiring time for women. It is amazing how Chicago began to develop and how it applies to this day.
