1898 The Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition: Model at Durham Museum

 As I noted in a different b log, most of the world's fair from 1898 is gone except for a small portion that was made into a park.  Durham Museum has a model of the exposition.  A large lagoon was created with surrounding buildings.  The construction was not meant to be permanent and was removed after the exposition.

This replica is of larger size and you can walk through the arch.
