Box Lunch Talks

The Centennial of 1876, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was the first World’s Fair held on American soil. More than ten million people visited this “International Exposition.” Due to Carroll County’s proximity to Philadelphia, many residents had the opportunity to personally view the Fair’s offerings. HSCC executive director Gainor Davis reveals what unique, exotic, and innovative items captured Carroll Countians’ imaginations and how this exposure to the world in miniature was integrated into their everyday lives.
