1893 WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION READING ROOM™ In the Digital Research Library of Illinois History® WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION CHICAGO - ILLINOIS - U.S.A. May 1, 1893 - October 30, 1893 The World's Columbian Exposition, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' landing in America, was actually held in 1893, a year later than had been planned. New York City, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, and Chicago had all vied for the honor of hosting the exposition. It was during this vigorous and often vocal competition that Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, dubbed Chicago "that windy city." Chicago's lobbyists finally won out and, on April 25, 1890, President Benjamin Harrison signed the act that designated Chicago as the site of the exposition. It took three frantic years of preparation and work to produce the exposition. Although dedication ceremonies were held on October 21, 1892 even though the fairgrounds were not yet completed and opening to the public was delayed until May 1, 1893. The gates opened at the World’s Columbian Exposition (aka: Chicago World’s Fair) on time May 1st. Over the next six months, more than 26 million visitors would flock to the 600 acre fairgrounds and visit over 200 buildings full of art, food, entertainment, educational congresses and lectures, technological and  gadgets. The fair, ostensibly meant to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ voyage to the Americas. The World's Fair served as a showcase for a fully rebuilt and vibrant Chicago just twenty-two years after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which was celebrated as 'Chicago Day' on its anniversary, October 9, 1893.   An Abbreviated World's Fair History >> "The Midway Plaisance at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago."  Is the first published book devoted exclusively to the World's Fair Midway as the beginning of the modern-day "Amusement Park". Forward by S. M. Senden, the critically acclaimed author of Chicago history books and Chicago based historical mystery novels. Available in hardcover and paperback. CHICAGO DAY Chicago Day, October 9, 1893, commemorated the 22nd anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois. The final tally, including paid admissions and free passes, was 761,942 attendees.

The task was difficult, as the demand far exceeded the number of days on which the Exposition was open, and it became necessary to assign several celebrations to the same date; but no serious complications followed, as the space and the attendance gave ample opportunity for this arrangement. The States celebrated some day notable in their histories; foreign nations the birthday or coronation day of their sovereigns; and other days of special memories were recognized, as John Adams prophesied for the Fourth of July, "with sound of cannon and ringing of bells; with speeches, bonfires, and illuminations." All these special celebrations were occasions of great interest, by no means confined to those who were particularly concerned, but united in heartily by the multitudes assembled. Much credit is due to the Committee on Ceremonies and to Mr. Millet, of the Department of Functions, who gave time and thought to the preparation of the entertainments, many of which were unique, and all of which were fitly prepared and successfully carried into effect.        » Alabama Editors Day, July 25, 1893      » Ancient Order of Forresters' Day, August 12, 1893      » Amateur Athletic Day,
