This conversation is suitable for all ages.
90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
Interesting to see the photos from the World's Fairs around the country and the world.
Jennie's presentation on this topic was truly exciting. I learned so much about how modern architecture in the corporate setting has been incorporated into our heritage for nearly 100 years. Anyone who missed this seminar should definitely sign up for the Expo 67 seminar in early December.
Excellent. Well researched. Dr. Hirsh is a very good presenter.

This seminar was outstanding! It was the perfect addition to my special birthday. Jennie’s seminar really made you feel like you actually visited the fair.
