Description:
In 1893, Chicago hosts the World's Columbian Exposition, showcasing groundbreaking advancements in art, architecture, science, technology, and culture from around the globe. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the creator of New York's Central Park, and built under Daniel Burnham's supervision, the Fair is an impressive feat of engineering. On opening day, President Grover Cleveland activates a golden telegraph key, sending electricity to power fountains, machinery, railways, and thousands of lights – a historic first for such a large-scale application. Nearly 28 million visitors flock to the "White City," inspiring future innovators like Henry Ford, Walt Disney, and Frank Lloyd Wright, and introducing iconic inventions like the Ferris Wheel and Cracker Jack.
