My great grandma was born in 1906! So lots of my ancestors were definitely at the fair! I love forest park, it’s wonderful and full of worlds fair remnants!

Thanks for showing the video. My great-great-uncle Charles "Grist Mill" Jones was one of the nine members of the Oklahoma delegation. They built the Golden Grain Pavilion from Oklahoma in the agricultural building. I think they got a gold medal for the best flour in the Midwest. I've only seen one photo of the Golden Grain Pavilion, and it was a stereoscope picture. I'm pretty sure the Oklahoma delegation brought Geronimo with them from Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Geronimo made money selling daquerreotypes of himself for $3. I got a lot of this information from the territorial Governor of Oklahoma Thompson Ferguson's annual report for 1906 on the Territory of Oklahoma to the president of the United States.

The use of panning and zoom on the pictures is the original Ken Burns effect.

Wow, thank you for posting this.
@odaydrums
I find it hard to believe this was built in 3 years.

I have a picture of my great great grandfather, three sons, and a daughter in law, whom were there. It would be great if I could spot them in this film. When I was 11, I met the daughter in law. She was 83 at the time. I wish I had asked more questions.
@ManongdoMJ

Laclede Gas is now Spire🎉
@Schatziesays
The landlords seemed like they were decent people who would probably be a bit more understanding if you just talked to them. The lady screaming to get off her property is next level crappy
