In 1909 Saint Paul was the home of the Great Northern Railway, whose builder James J. Hill had linked the upper Midwest to the Pacific coast, and the wholesale houses along the river shipped goods out to country towns. The state fair that year drew crowds by streetcar and special train, and families spent their days moving between the livestock barns, exhibit halls, and the grandstand. State politics ran alongside, with lawmakers debating railroad rates and the regulation of grain and stockyards. Visitors heading home at dusk would have seen a state growing quickly and a capital city that measured its progress in rail miles and fairgoers.
