Pan American Experience | WNED Program

A WNED Original Production. To many, the most shining moment in the history of Buffalo, New York occurred over one-hundred years ago. During 1901's Pan-American Exposition, electric light was highlighted and the world was never the same. ©2001. Produced by WNED-TV.
Funding for THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE has been provided in part by a grant from the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo. Additional support provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and by the Members of WNED. Thank you.

Those structures at the fair do not look like they are made of wood and plaster. You wouldn’t string a million lights on plaster. Those buildings are made of stone. Solid. Hoe did they build them so finely and so sturdy in that timeframe?
