The World's Fair - Part 1 (Listener Request)
from Civics & Coffee: A History Podcast · host Alycia
Shout out to listener Stacey who reached out and ask that I cover the history of the World's Fairs in the United States. There have been A LOT of them - and a lot of cool and amazing advancements have come about thanks to these demonstrations of new ideas, inventions and national pride. So much, in fact, that this will be a multi-part episode. This week I cover the origins of World's Fairs, what brought them to the United States and how they differed from their counterparts. Enjoy!
