In the summer of 1965, my parents spent some time in Manhattan around the time they went to the World's Fair. Among the places they took pictures at were the United Nations building and a boat ride out to the Statue of Liberty (also seen here in 1974 and 2006).

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).
