Michigan State House at Jackson Park Exposition
Michigan and Wisconsin prepared impressive state buildings for the World’s Fair. The Michigan exhibit, three stories high on the exposition grounds near the Vine Arts structures, features a limestone and brick exterior, grand reception rooms, a ladies parlor, a state library, and an art exhibit. Furnishings include Wilton velvet, mahogany desks, a Turkish divan, and portraits by Michigan artists. The Wisconsin display gleams with similar grandeur and showcases its own culture and industry.

World’s Fair Passes Count Realistic But Low
A flawed tally shows far fewer World’s Fair passes issued than some claim.
