The Man Who Ran The Fair; the personal papers, scrapbooks and souvenirs of Charles C. Moore, President of the PPIE
Charles C. Moore is often given the lion’s share of credit for the success of The Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915. As part of this year’s citywide centennial celebration of The PPIE, our exhibition includes a copy of Moore’s itinerary during the fair (he attended 425 events and gave 277 speeches between February 20 and December 4), the citations and medals he received, invitations to both public and private events, souvenirs from his unique experience, as well as the autograph book he kept on his desk (signed by Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, William Jennings Bryan, FDR, and Theodore Roosevelt).
