The Trans Mississippi International Exposition of 1898 and the concurrent Indian Congress were held in Omaha, Nebraska from June 1, 1898 through November 1, 1898. The Exposition showcased the developed West from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast. Business and community leaders from the 24 states and territories lying west of the Mississippi River envisioned the Trans Mississippi Exposition as a way to revitalize the regional economy and to show that the West had recovered from the financial panic of 1893. During the four months of the Exposition, over 2,600,000 people came
to view it's 4,062 exhibits. The exhibits feature social achievements,
economic productivity, and community growth of the western region. The
Exposition stretched from 24th Street east to Sherman Avenue and from
Pinkney Street north to Ames Avenue. Overall, it covered about 108 city
blocks. The grand buildings of the Exposition no longer exist because
of the poor quality of the construction materials. Most of the structures
were built using green wood and plaster in order to keep the cost of these
immense buildings down. more.
