“Meet Me in St. Louis – World’s Fair” by Karl M. Kindt III.
This is an amazing slideshow presentation about the famous 1904 World’s Fair! It includes actual movies made at the Fair in 1904, amazing zoomable photographs with great detail of the Palaces, the exhibits and includes, of course, singing together, “Meet Me in St. Louis” to the music that was actually recorded in 1904 – it is an amazing visual and audio experience of the most amazing World’s Fair ever held. Karl Kindt is a retired professor who taught for many years about this World’s Fair. He has digitized many of the registry books some of your ancestors may have signed if they attended the 1904 Fair. (Anyone interested in displaying World’s Fair photos, memorabilia/artifacts for this program or the season may do so in one of our locked display cases. Please call 618-514-1628 ASAP. Feel free to “dress” for 1904 Fair attendance!) Donations sincerely appreciated. The program will be held in the Monroe County History Museum’s Allscheid-Metzger Gallery located at 724 Elaine Drive, Waterloo, IL 62298.
