The World’s Fair of 1904 debuted several foods that are enjoyed today. The “Food, Glorious Food” exhibit at the Brown House shares the stories behind the ice cream cone, Jell-O and more.
The Brown House has brought back two popular exhibits with improved layouts thanks to their new, customized display panels.
“Food, Glorious Food” and “Godey’s Lady’s Book” are open to new and returning visitors through Friday, September 26.
Innovations from the 1904 World’s Fair, vibrant food replicas and antique kitchen gadgets are among the items found in “Food, Glorious Food.” This exhibit also features the new panels, which are being used to display information and related artifacts.
“Pecan Tree Design here in Wylie actually designed these for us and custom made them,” said Tour Guide and Research Assistant Kari Isom.
