1892 Pittsburgh Exposition
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The Western Pennsylvania Exposition Society of Pittsburgh was formed in 1885 to promote the cities industrial life. They selected land at the Point overlooking the meeting of the Allegheny, Ohio, and Monongahela rivers as the ideal location for the planned grounds and buildings. A merry-go-round was introduced in 1892 as entertainment for school children. One so-called dollar was struck for this exposition. The details are cataloged in my 2023 book So-Called Dollars Volume I: United States Expositions. Click on the “View All” link below to see them.
