Westward the Empire: Omaha's World Fair of 1898


image


We believe that an Exposition of all the products, industries and civilization of the states west of the Mississippi River, made at some central gateway where the world can behold the wonderful capabilities of these great wealth producing states, would be of great value, not only to the Trans-Mississippi states, but to all the homeseekers of the world.
William Jennings Bryan 1895




Production of Westward The Empire: Omaha's World Fair of 1898
was made possible with major funding from
