Online Program: The Ephemeral City's Century of Progress
Zoom program -
In Ephemeral City, author Lindsay Fullerton brings the 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition to life through first-hand accounts from attendees, workers, and reporters. Drawing from personal photos, scrapbooks, oral histories, and writings, she reveals the diverse experiences of fairgoers and the excitement, innovation, and evangelism that defined the event. This vivid people’s history offers a fresh look at how visitors engaged with a transformative moment in American history.
