Few American fairs were laid out on a grander scale than the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, which opened in St. Louis in 1904 on a site in Forest Park. It marked the centennial of the 1803 purchase, drew millions of visitors over its months-long run, and hosted the Summer Olympics as part of its program. This bird's-eye view shows the layout of the grounds, with exhibition palaces and lagoons arranged for visitors to take in at once. The territory acquired in that purchase was the one Meriwether Lewis governed from St. Louis until his death on the Natchez Trace in 1809.
