The 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis was a grand spectacle of progress and cultural exchange. The Frieze Design adorned the gateway to this world fair, welcoming visitors to explore the wonders within. Among the exhibits were reminders of America's past, such as President Roosevelt's log cabin from his ranching days in North Dakota, housed in the Agricultural Building. Innovations like the Baldwin Airship and the ice cream cone, invented by Ernest A. Hamwi, added to the future-focused atmosphere. Native American groups, including the Apache and Pueblo, showcased their traditions, offering a glimpse into the rich diversity of the American experience. This historic event brought the world to St. Louis, leaving an indelible mark on our nation's history.
