NEW ENGLAND

Dancers in the costumes of the many nationalities that have settled New England, frog-jumping contests, a “Liberty Tree” holding historic documents and a simulated walk on the moon are the chief attractions. The pavilion area, which consists of a village green and a series of hexagonal buildings, includes a rustic “Country Store” and a nautical restaurant that features famous New England dishes. Dances, contests and other events are held on the green.

Befitting the simple design of many buildings in New England, the pavilion was a group of small glass-fronted structures facing a central courtyard. (CD10 Set 50 #22)  


 

Each of the states had their own building to show off their history, industry and tourist attractions. (CD21 Set 111 #11)  
 
While the guide book stated that there would be demonstrations on the village green, which would seem to imply the central courtyard, most of the shows actually took place on a stage set off to the side of the buildings. (CDxx Set 185 #30)
