The official title of the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago was A Century of Progress International Exposition. The Fair was organized to mark Chicago's one hundred year anniversary. The mission of the Fair was to demonstrate the significance of scientific and technological discoveries to industry and modern society and how those discoveries were being made. The Fair also showcased modern advancements in art, literature, and architecture from across the globe. Exhibits from all over the world included new automobile designs, houses of the future, and babies living in incubators. There was also an abundance of international carnival entertainment at the Fair, including the Skyride, a cable-suspended people mover higher than any building in Chicago. The midway provided games, a roller coaster, shows, and food.

Before you pass within, look back and scan the Chicago skyline with its towering skyscrapers, drink deep of the scene about you that voices a century of progress. For the next moment you are to be carried back a hundred years and more, back to a day when Chicago�s few settlers huddled close to Old Fort Dearborn, and the fort housed soldiers to protect them, and to hold the line of advancing civilization against the northwestern tribes. Here is contrast almost breathtaking a century spanned with a few short steps, and with little need for imaginative aid. This is Old Fort Dearborn as it actually was, faithfully reproduced in every detail, constructed even as toiling men built the first Fort Dearborn in 1803. The original, when completed, stood near where Michigan Avenue crosses the Chicago River. (https://chicagology.com/centuryprogress/1933fair31/)
