As Midnight struck on December 1, 1904, World's Fair President David R. Francis stood before a hushed crowd of 100,000 in Forest Park in St. Louis. He then threw a switch that extinguished forever the fair that had been a magical kingdom for several months.
And yet … from a department store in Philadelphia to a hilltop in Birmingham, from a front yard in Moberly, Missouri, to a museum in Alaska—and in dozens of other places—the World's Fair still lives on.
In Still Shining!, Diane Rademacher tracks down the present history and location of the 1904 World's Fair's most beloved buildings and structures. Rademacher's book contains original pictures of famous structures and how they look today.

I tutor at Bierbaum Elementry. I had the opprotunity to attend a 4th grade assembly where the author of this book was speaking to the students.
Her book is not jut intresting because it is about the 1904 Worlds Fair. The reason this book is unique is because it tells you where you can find things today that were at the 1904 Worlds Fair.Everyone knows that iced tea and the ice cream cone made their debut at the fair, but did you know that the electric typewriter also made it's debut at the Fair. The worlds largest pipe organ which cost $105,000 to build and contained 10,059 pipes 140 stops is around still today. Daily concerts are given on it everyday at Lord and Taylors in Phildelphia, Pennsylvania The organ is now valued at $50 million. The organ now has30,000 pipes,451stops and six keyboards and is still the worlds largest organ. There are many more facts like this that you can find in Diane Rademacher's book "Still shining!"
