What I want you to think about the $1876$ Philadelphia Centennial Fair is what these fairs were supposed to do and offer people, what kinds of things were displayed or offered to attendees, and what they help us understand about this new industrial era of the late $19$th century. What can you see happening in terms of how things look, what kinds of things are happening and being shown to the public at these events, and the messages they are trying to send to the world about the US $($and France$)?$ Use the journal entry here to write your reflection on these events and what you saw. Do we have anything today that is similar in scope or message?
