New York World's Fair, 1965

The 1964/1965 New York World's Fair opened on April 22, 1964, and ran for two six-month seasons concluding on October 17, 1965. These pictures were taken around August 1965. The fair was in Flushing Meadows, in Queens, NY, near Shea Stadium. Pictures here include General Motors' "Futurama", Sinclair Oil's "Dinoland", the Unisphere, a recreation of a Belgian village (which introduced the Belgian Waffle to the US), Disney's "It's a Small World", and General Electric's "Carousel of Progress" (both of which later moved to Disneyland).
