- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- A fascinating view of the largest World's Fair in history held in 1904. Hundreds of images, early film footage, and engaging interviews offer a glimpse of the world as it was over a century ago, brought to life through hundreds of never-before-seen images, rare file footage from the earliest days of motion pictures, and comments from nationally recognized historians.

Born and raised in STL and 120 years later it is still a sense of pride for the city. ❤
One of 3 Great cities where half-ball is played by youngsters and adults alike ! Wonderful place!
“Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis”
One of THE BEST overviews of great fairs ever!
Many thanks!!!
🎶TAKE me to St. Louis, Louis ! TAKE me to the fair !🎶😉
This is what a golden age looks like and what we will have again.
Great quote, “The wheel was just enormous!” No kidding.
Creator can't go in and edit the typo in the title tho???
They are showing our first World’s Fair aka The Columbia Exposition 1893 in Chicago. All the other American World’s Fairs. The one in my life was The 1965 Worlds Fair in Ozone Park, New York. Today, they call it Epcot Center in Disney World, Orlando. The Monorail premiered at the 1965 Fair…
There was one in Philadelphia in 1876
@
The Centennial. France gave us The Statue of Liberty.
Expo 67 in Montreal was amazing. I was 6. Cheers from Montreal
1984 there was one in New Orleans
That must have been great. Cheers from Montreal
Fall right to sleep watching this. But in a good way.
These were not “temporary buildings”.
Stop watching crazy conspiracy videos. It's disrespectful to a bygone era.
@@LynxStarAuto And you are being disrespectful to someone’s theory
You do realize there is some footage and photos of them destroying some of the world's fairs buildings right?Most were just wood and plaster. Heck there's a film clip of when they demolished the decaying 1915 world's fair palace of fine arts pavilion in 1964 because the original was just plaster and some thin steel.There are also countless surviving buildings and structures from multiple worlds fairs still around such as the 1893 chicago world's fairs palace of fine arts building because they had to construct it with better quality because of laws and means to protect the art that was once held inside.
@@raymondhutchinson7156 you are ignorant my friend. they created this worlds fair narrative in order to cover up the fact that these magnificent structures were already here when we discovered America. majority of these buildings and structures got taken down, demolished, or intentionally destroyed in fires in order to cover up the true history and to pass on their fake new world order narrative
If done voluntarily, respectfully, fairly, and safely for the participants, being able to view and perhaps experience multiple cultural practices in one place would be fascinating and truly educational. Seeing people from far flung, “exotic” places doing their daily thing must have been mind blowing to the typical Midwesterners who traveled to St. Louis for the fair.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, even as a work of fiction
Something that has existed as physical reality is not fictional.
So much for "education" in the U.S. (Also, a bad habit here of-
recent that is spreading, is leaving sentences open?)
This actually existed. You've never read a book? I even went to one in New York in the 60s. It was great.

Well said.
This year Expo 2025 will be held in Osaka. From April to October.
do they still have cabbage patch babies for sale?
Ragtime is definitely makin a comeback.
Why has the sound, interviews cut out?
I was wondering that too
God, is it me, or is the music aggravating ?
Likely it is yourself.
Love the music
Especially between 8:43 to 11:15 but other than that this was a very exceptional excellent enjoyable documentary. Really loved it.
It's you.
No it’s God
I went to the New York Worlds Fair in the 60s and there have been a few others since. It's AMAZING how young people think these didn't exist..... They must think history began the day after they were born or never opened a book.....SMH.
They made a show of destroying the past and it's technology.
So why you using technology to watch this 😂😂😂😂
@Tattedup85 what's funny
I'm totally hearing what you're screaming. The amount of deception is astounding. People should dive down the rabbit hole if they are being thick headed!
HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉
🇺🇲❤🇺🇲
You can go to the world fair this year in Osaka, Japan. If you dare step out of your bubble.
Well said
9:27 it begins muting the voices but continues the music. What’s going on?!
Truth hiding.
Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment I saw him I fell
🎶 ❤ 💃🏾 🎡
What's w the front part w just music as it strolls thru all these people talking...but no audio connected to their vocals? Excuse me, am I missing something? Could it be my mind?
We should have these every year. In small and rural towns. So that that next Henry Ford or Thomas Edison can see them in person and be inspired as a child.
Why do there music over the entire video?
The music overrides the narration. People are talking on the visuals, but it’s just music.
It started off so good. Why did it have to go into the anti-White garbage narrative? I quit there.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
There were some questionable decisions made by the people in power in America's history. Why is that "anti-white"?
I don't believe Mankind built those Structures/Buildings. Too advanced for the technology of those days..
Bigfoot made them. 😂😂😂
Aliens
Back in the good old days where people knew their place! 😳
Well yes, for having HAD one.
"Every Jack as good as his master" is a proverb that means everyone, regardless of their social standing or background, has the potential to be as skilled or capable as their superiors or teachers. It suggests that anyone can achieve mastery or excellence if they dedicate themselves to learning and practice.
So informs Google.
Learned souvj! I enjoyed learning about the turn of the century and all the inventions new then are do much taken for granted now. Light, autos, Food ,Peoples of the World.
I am of an age as I will not see another turn of the Century probably. I would love to but it is doubtful.
I suggest all families keep their diaries up to date with as many thoughts and current information as Possible. Your future generations can look back and see how far THEIR generation has progressed.
Happy History Making. I'm sure the 1904 Worlds Fair seemed Like an impossible dream as it was attended.
The Louisiana Purchase was one of the Most Important acquisitions for America in our history. IT was called Seward's Golly. I wish those who considered the purchase of half of the United States Now ,axwaste ofmoney ,time and that it could be of no Use to America. I'm sure the opponents of the Purchase would be Amazed at America's " Louisiana Purchase lands Today.
Thank you for this documentary. Please share this as I'm sure there are people Like me ,who had no Idea of it's importance to our future.🇺🇲💙🙏✌️
Very well said. One edit perhaps though; it was known as Seward’s Folly ( not Golly ) Happy New Year!
Rewards Folly was the purchase of Alaska in 1867. Orchestrated by secretary of state William H. Steward
Not the Loiusiana Puechase
William H Seward.
Now there's no train station it a quick trip food and gas how shameful its a wasted history site 😢😢😢😢😮
I still can’t believe that Most oF the building’s were Just Made out oF wood and plaster! Definitely Makes you think that’s For sure 🤔
What a time to be alive. And the Olympics were held at the same time. WOW. Other than that train accident it seemed ideal.
Those buildings were already there, not built for the fair. Then destroyed.
Bigfoot made them. 😂😂😂
They're eating the cats! They're eating the dogs!
Rain comes from heaven. 😂😂
You should really do your best to avoid phrases like " racial superiority" that's a matter of opinion. You could just tell the story.
yeah i thought the phrasing was crazy too it says 'unaplogetic about their sense of cultural and racial superiority as in, yes they are superier but only they were very honest about it lol
1:19:13 are you kidding me???
The gig is up that’s why we’re reaching our end again because everybody’s aware of all the nonsense .
44:10 Opera wasn’t even popular back then either 😮
Nothing but bold faced liar's and thieves
* The Realms Greatest Deception
Great tartarian era
And then they died
1904s founder gotta be a ghost cause how even look that good
Anyone who seriously thinks these were temporary buildings needs their head examined.
Anyone who believes internet conspiracy theorists needs their heads examined. 😮
flippy fluff
These structures were not built by horse and buggy people.
Bigfoot made them. 😂😂😂
What a waste
Annoying narration…
All bs
Ne VAY duh? Huh, that's definitely the American way to pronounce sin city. 😂
They used them as a distraction to get people in a certain location what are they doing in other places whenever the entities in charge asked you to look somewhere they're hiding something else
(A complicated way of describing what is 'misdirection,' as magician use.)
😂😂😂 the only gullible people are the ones that believe internet conspiracy theorists. 😂😂😂
