The Midway. The balloon pictured was later destroyed in a tornado storm while the Fair was still open.

Cafe in the Turkish Village.

Replica Viking ship.

Replicas of Columbus’ ships. Hopefully not to scale…

The good kind of Water Gate.

The Court of Honor. Reportedly the most popular aspect of the exposition.
