Memorable time when Seattle was "world of wonder" in 1909

Memorable time when Seattle was "world of wonder" in 1909

The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) exhibit of photos from the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition will feature the work of famed fair photographer Frank Nowell. MOHAI is also encouraging citizens to do research projects on the fair for AYPE.org.

It was a time for the unimaginable: a telephone without wires; a machine that could butcher salmon as humans had done for centuries; premature babies in incubators; an entire village from the Philippines. All were on display at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909.

"For four and a half months the University of Washington campus was turned into a world of wonder," said Museum of History & Industry historian Lorraine McConaghy.
