120th anniversary of the World's Fair

  • Summary

  • Welcome to the History of the Lou with Sue! Sue Thomas welcomes Adam Kloppe, Public Historian at the Missouri History Museum to discuss the 120th anniversary of the Fair. Did you know there was a fancy hotel in Forest Park during the fair? That almost 20 MILLION people came from across the country (before we all had cars) to St. Louis to see it? Was the ice cream cone invented there? We'll find out! This weekend is the grand opening of a huge new exhibit at the history museum that folks have been working on for years, so we're all about the World's Fair. For more info on the exhibit, go to www.mohistory.org.
