Introduction

On April 30, 1904, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
otherwise termed The World's Fair, opened to the public.

By the time the fair closed in December, around 20 million people had attended.

Through this project, you will learn more about the 1904 fair,
while at the same time you will design and describe a 21st Century version of your own.
