If your group would like me to take them on a tour of the 1904 Fair grounds and as we go about these sites, view images of what it was like then when we are standing on the exact spot where the photographs were taken - these tours are available.

1. The World's Fair Pavilion
2. The St. Louis Zoo - the Bird Cage in particular
3. The St. Louis Art Museum
4. The Grand Basin
5. The Missouri Historical Society
6. The Boat House
7. Skinker Blvd
8. Wydown Middle School
9. Washington University
Our goal is to try to experience the 1904 World's Fair as if you were a time traveller from our day with all the full knowledge you have of science and technology and cultural changes that have happened and perhaps even pretend you are talking to someone at this Fair, perhaps an interview with them and perhaps interact with them, telling them you have come from the future and try to explain to them the transformations that will happen over time because of the innovations they have seen or the errors in thinking that were presented to them at this Fair by anthropologists and others. Try to deduce how they would react. Also consider your own reactions to being there in 1904 as if you were NOT a 21st century citizen - try to put yourself in the shoes of a 1904 Fair goer as you walk these places they actually walked when these places were so very different from what you see now.
