An interesting look into some of the original attractions of the 1936 Centennial Exposition in Fair Park. This is a fold-out map from an original centennial souvenir guide in our collection.

Quite possibly one of the most photogenic buildings I have ever come across 🤠 It exists for golden hour.
Did you know that this small restaurant space in the Food's Building at Fair Park is original to the 1936 Centennial Exposition? Originally Gebhardt's Chili Powder, it is still being used as a restaurant during the fair to this day with the original signage still visible.

If you pay close attention, you can sometimes spot wonderful little traces of how much work is being poured into saving Fair Park History.

We dropped the ball on this anniversary, so we'll piggyback off of @derrickjeter to say Happy Birthday to The Science Place! Thanks Derrick!
On this day in Texas history, in 1946, a group of doctors, dentists, and lay people opened the Dallas Health Museum during the State Fair at Fair Park. In 1981 the museum was renamed the Science Place. Today it is part of the Perot Museum located in Victory Park.

Originally, the building was constructed and occupied as part of the Centennial Exposition of 1936 by the Museum of Domestic Arts. It was designed to mimic the appearance of a "southern mansion" as quoted from Exposition promotional materials.

This is what happens when we let Little Big Tex proofread, but we’re so glad YOU’RE here! ❤️
Oh boy! No one told us it was Archives month. Should we get the storage array a cake? 🎂
This #AmericanArchivesMonth, we’re spotlighting the people who have taken a deep dive into the 13 billion records of the National Archives and found…THEMSELVES! Or at least, their families. 🧵

The lagoon walk outside the former Science Place and Natural History Museum / Visitors Center has been converted into a wonderful prehistoric dinosaur safari! Such a fantastic place to visit during the Fair! @StateFairOfTX #StateFairofTexas

We'll be wandering around here all week folks! You can probably find us with or faces pressed up against the Science Place windows, at a Fletcher's stand, or somewhere in-between! #StateFairofTexas @StateFairOfTX @FletchersDogs
