We dug through archives, studied photographs, and designed games to devise a the most fun and insightful excursion. See the few remaining buildings from the time of the World's Fair. People think that you have to go south of downtown to understand the history of the World's Fair, but it's impact on the architecture and landscape of downtown Chicago is still visible today.
