Hearthside House Museum

You can't actually meet anyone at the World's Fair in St. Louis anymore, since it was held back in 1904. You can, however, meet at the 1904 World's Fair celebration at Hearthside House in Lincoln on Sunday, titled "Discovering Our Great Past: Rhode Island at the 1904 World's Fair." 

 
Inside the house there will be exhibits, artifacts and memorabilia from the fair, including a "sensory room" where visitors may listen to the actual voices of fair goers. Outside, on the Hearthside grounds, there will be live music, old-fashioned arcade games, baseball in period uniforms, a reptile show, stilt walker, belly dancing and fortune teller, plus a chance to sample food made popular by the 1904 fair, such as hot dogs, iced tea and ice cream cones. 

 
Hearthside House will have a collection of wireless telegraph equipment and, with the help of a temporary tower and the Blackstone Valley Amateur Radio Operators Club, will send messages to radio operators in St. Louis.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
 
Barbara Blossom, a former actress at Trinity Rep, and a St. Martin's parishioner, has a family connection to the 1904 World's Fair.  Her great-grandmother, Marie Narelle, known as "The Australian Queen of Irish Song," was a performer at the Blarney Castle Theatre in the fair's Irish Village. Her singing attracted the attention of Thomas Edison, who recorded her on his new wax cylinders. Kathy Hartley, president of Friends of Hearthside, invited Barbara to be part of the 2015 celebration. In response, Blossom wrote a performance piece about her great-grandmother - "a 20-minute scene of her life" - to be performed this year.
Another St. Martin's parishioner, soprano Blythe Walker, will sing as Narelle.
