The Journal of San Diego History Summer 1999, Volume 45, Number 3 Contents of This Issue Creating a Monument, Re-Creating History: Junipero Serra Museum and Presidio Park by Gregg R. Hennessey Images from this article The Junipero Serra Museum was the culmination for Marston of a lifetime of public benefactions that enriched San Diego's landscape and way of life. It also represented the successful conclusion of a long period of re-casting the historical memory of San Diego from a saga of bloody conquest first, of the Indians by the Spanish and then, of the Mexicans by the Americans, to the story of a modern parade of progress from the European founders to the present group of Anglo-American town fathers and mothers. Scholars are agreed that societies reconstruct their pasts rather than faithfully recording them. According to Michael Kammen, a leading scholar on historical memory, this is done on a generational basis to satisfy the needs of contemporary culture, to usefully shape the present, and to build "an illusion of social consensus." The much esteemed American historian Carl Becker also recognized this phenomenon in his classic 1932 essay, "Everyman His Own Historian." History, Becker wrote, is "an unstable pattern of remembered things redesigned and newly colored to suit the convenience of those who make use of it."

Washington brought thousands of Texans to the Fair each year. But the popular success of the exposition was shadowed by repeated fires, mishaps and mounting debt. A grandstand collapsed during a fireworks show in 1900, and the main exhibit building burned to the ground two years later. When the Texas Legislature banned gambling on horse races in 1903, thereby eliminating the Fair's main source of income, the association faced a financial crisis. To protect this valuable community asset, the Texas State Fair spurned offers from developers and sold its property to the City of Dallas in 1904 under an agreement that set aside a period each fall to hold the annual exposition. The reorganized State Fair of Texas prospered immediately, establishing new records for receipts and attendance as 300,000 people streamed through the gates in 1905. President William Howard Taft visited the Fair in 1909, and Woodrow Wilson delivered a speech in 1911. Automobile races and stunt flying exhibitions became the top attractions. Attendance topped the 1 million mark in 1916. World War I caused the 1918 State Fair to be canceled, and Fair Park was converted into a temporary army encampment.

City Information Elected Officials City Employment Contact the City ... Home History of Fair Park Fair Park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986, because of its exceptional significance in American history. This significance is derived from its 105-year association with the State Fair of Texas and as the site of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. While the location of Fair Park dates back to the original 1886 fairgrounds, many of the existing buildings and public spaces were constructed for the 1936 Exposition which attracted over 7 million visitors. In preparation for the Centennial, the fairgrounds were expanded and transformed into a showplace of modern buildings under the remarkable direction of Centennial Architect George Dahl and consulting architect Paul Cret. The design theme for the Exposition was "Texanic" and "Southwestern." This regional flavor, intermingled with modern concepts, was the basic design style for both the renovation of existing Fair Park structures and the design of new buildings. After sixty-five years, all of the permanent and many of the temporary buildings, murals, statues and bas-relief sculptures survive. In addition, a number of buildings have been constructed since the Centennial; most blend well with the character of the 1936 Exposition buildings. The 30-structure Fair Park complex constitutes the largest intact concentration of 1930s-era exposition buildings and public art remaining in the United States, and is recognized as one of the most significant sites in the world for Art Deco architecture.

It marks the end of summer's warm-weather gala and the start of serious autumnal business; with all those earnest displays aimed at educating us in the proper methods of rolling piecrust and controlling cocklebur, can back-to-school time be far away? Although novelties appear along the Midway now and then, the familiar things we seek out year after year define the ritual dimension of fairgoing for most Minnesotans. There's Willie Nelson's night at the grandstand, the barker touting ever-sharp steak knives, the honey-and sunflower-seed ice cream for sale in the Horticulture Building, the fresh-faced youngsters sleeping on the straw in the cow barns. And there's the lady in the down jacket, carving likenesses of pretty farm girls out of 68-pound blocks of pure Minnesota butter in a revolving, refrigerated "studio" at the back of the dairy building. If they were the first to fret over Minnesota butter and the absence thereof, the women of the soon-to-be "Bread and Butter State" were also the first to produce it. At the Territorial Fair held in Minneapolis in October of 1855, "among the exhibits was a display of cheese, the first dairy interest to be exhibited in the history of the upper Mississippi valley," but it was "the ladies" who showed the butter, along with "flowers, home-made carpets and rugs, and many specimens of needlework and fancy articles."

Meta Warrick (Fuller), a sculptor, had created and arranged twenty-four two-foot-high plaster figures that re-imagined the shackled, nearly nude, and traumatized Africans who had landed in Jamestown in 1619. In Landing and thirteen other dioramas, she used more than 130 painted plaster figures, model landscapes, and backgrounds to give viewers a chronological survey of the African American experience. Scenes ranged from a tableau of a fugitive slave to a depiction of the home life of "the modern, successfully educated, and progressive Negro." Drawing upon but moving beyond her classical training in Philadelphia and Paris, Warrick applied new capacities for simulation and illusion to the depiction of African American themes. By doing so, she expanded the repertoire of representation of the African American past. Incorporating the lives and concerns of African Americans into the saga of civilization, she turned the historical African American into the centerpiece of the saga, claiming a position the dominant white narrative denied. Her dioramas, which suggested the expansiveness of black abilities, aspirations, and experiences, presented a cogent alternative to white representations of historyby an African American.

The World's Columbian Exposition The Chicago World's Fair of 1893 by Melinda Gilpin Dedication The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was a landmark event in American history and culture. Named in honor of Christopher Columbus, the Fair was a means of celebrating the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the New World and promoting the progress of man in science, industry, and culture since that historic event. Six months prior to the opening of the fair was the elaborate Dedication Ceremony of October 21, 1892. Which was held at the massive Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. Officials provided lunch for the 70,000 people expected to attend the dedication. However, nearly double that number appeared. The ceremonies were marked by gala musical performances of the "Columbian March" and one of the earliest public recitations of The Pledge of Allegiance to the United States Flag - written earlier that year by Francis J. Bellamy. Construction Construction continued after the dedication ceremony, although a particularly rough winter in 1892 and 1893 made progress slow and difficult. Thousands of architects, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and other craftsmen labored long hours attempting to complete the hundreds of buildings before the deadline. There were many times they did not think they would complete the work. In addition to the numerous buildings and structures that needed to be completed inside the Fairgrounds, additional hotels, a partments and other buildings were required to house thousands of tourists and workers. Despite all the odds, on Monday, May 1, 1893, two years and $19 million after construction began, the World's Columbian Exposition opened to throngs of visitors.

Organized to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's landfall in the New World, the World's Columbian Exposition became a defining moment in Chicago's history and the history of the United States as a whole. Map of Fairgrounds, 1893 When the World's Columbian Exposition opened, only 22 years had passed since the Chicago Fire of 1871 ; only 28 years had passed since the end of the American Civil War . In the interval, the era of Reconstruction had given way to a Gilded Age characterized by frenetic industrial growth, mass immigration, and class violence as evidenced by Chicago's 1886 Haymarket Court of Honor, 1893 Momentum to celebrate the Columbian quadricentennial began building in the early 1880s. By the close of the decade, civic leaders in St. Louis, New York City, and Washington DC joined their counterparts in Chicago and announced that they were interested in hosting a fair that, in a time of great economic uncertainty, held the promise of generating commercial profits as well as increasing real-estate Euphoric over their accomplishment, Chicago's powerful exposition backers had no time to rest. Although Congress pushed back the opening of the exposition to 1893, major battles lay ahead, especially over the selection of a site. Many downtown commercial interests favored a central location, but struggles over property rights and traffic congestion forced the exposition corporation, headed by Harlow N. Higinbotham, and the national exposition commission, headed by Thomas W. Palmer, to settle for

The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the last and the greatest of the nineteenth century's World's Fairs. Nominally a celebration of Columbus' voyages 400 years prior, the Exposition was in actuality a reflection and celebration of American culture and societyfor fun, edification, and profitand a blueprint for life in modern and postmodern America. The Fair was immensely popular, drawing over 27 million visitors, including Frederick Douglass, Jane Addams, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Henry Blake Fuller, Scott Joplin, Walter Wyckoff, Edweard Muybridge, Henry Adams, W.D. Howells, and Hamlin Garland. It was widely publicized both nationally and internationally, and people traveled from all over the world to see the spectacle. Travelers came from the East by "Exposition Flyers" Pullman coaches traveling at the amazing speed of 80 m.p.h which gave "many Americans their first look at the country beyond the Alleghenies..." (Donald Miller, 74) People left their factories, their farms, and their city businesses to participate in what was touted as the greatest cultural and entertainment event in the history of the world. The World's Columbian Exposition was the perfect vehicle to explore these immense changes while at the same time celebrating the kind of society America had become. World's Fairs, by the end of the century, were an established cultural and entertainment form with immense international influence. From the first major nineteenth century exposition, the 1851 "Crystal Palace" fair in London to Philadelphia's 1876 Centennial Exhibition to Paris' Exposition Universelle of 1889, hundreds of millions of people around the world visited over 50 international fairs in the last half of the century, finding in them not only entertainment, but cultural enlightenment, commercial opportunity, and a reflection of their age.

T The influence of the Exposition extended beyond the confines of the World's Fairs. Trends which originated in Chicago in 1893 and many of the ideas advanced there have shaped the very landscape of modern America. Its legacy is wide-ranging, from movements in popular and high culture to changes in the nation's power structure and the lasting influence of commerce and technology. A number of additional elements of the Fair seem eerily familiar to late-twentieth century observers. The fear of, and disdain for, the casualties of the Depressionthe homeless and unemployed is not unfamiliar (Schwantes' Coxey's Army Culture The cultural and entertainment impact of the Fair was pervasive in 1893from stories and jokes to songs and cartoons, the Exposition was everywhere. The cultural legacy of the Fair is not quite as obvious, but still as pervasive, today, coloring every aspect of daily modern lifefrom museums to the Pledge of Allegiance to hamburgers and Disney World. The Columbian Exposition was the venue for the debut of consumer products which are so familiar todayincluding Cream of Wheat, Shredded Wheat, Pabst Beer, Aunt Jemima syrup, and Juicy Fruit gum. The Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building was a showcase for American products, and showed them to advantage. To debut at the Fair, and possibly win a Columbian medal in product competitions, was a perfect way to win product recognition and a boon for the advertising departmentadvertisements in the months following the Fair prominently displayed ribbons and proudly pointed out, for example that this product was, "1st place, Bicycle Division." The Fair also introduced picture postcards to the American public, as well as two staples of the late-twentieth century dietcarbonated soda and hamburgers.
