MISSOURI

Missouri's glass-enclosed pavilion presents the theme "First in the Air... First in Space." Among its exhibits are a replica of the Spirit of St. Louis, the plane in which Charles A. Lindbergh made his historic New York - Paris flight in May 1927, and the two space capsules, Mercury and Gemini. There are also mementos of famous Missourians, a display sponsored by nine private electric utilities, and separate exhibits depicting the industrial development and natural resources of the state, the city of St. Louis, and Kansas City. A snack bar features foods said to have originated at the 1904 fair in St. Louis.

The pavilion was conveniently located next to a bridge linking the Transportation Area to the main grounds near the New York State pavilion. (CD21 Set 113 #4)
