Travel back in time to arguably one of the most influential events of the late 19th century. The 1893 Columbian Exposition World's Fair hosted in Chicago was attended by more than 27 million people, including some of the prominent people of the time as well as others who would play important roles in the future. From the Ferris Wheel to pancake mix, learn about the many inventions and products first showcased at the fair that we still enjoy today.
