November 2023

(This is from November 2023, but I’m leaving it up for now as a matter of interest. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to be notified of future in-person and online presentations in 2024!)

I’m excited to offer my presentation “Perspective of Wonder: A Tour of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition” at the Chicago Public Library/Uptown Branch.

Which building had the most ostentatious dome? What in the world is “staff,” and why was it important to the Fair? Which concession featured a donkey ride up a mountain?

Travel back in time with me on Saturday, November 11, at 2 p.m. to find out. I will have books for purchase and to sign, and the curators of worldsfairchicago1893.com—who are also hosting me—will have a table with memorabilia from the Fair. I’d love to see you there!
