Title
Minnesota State Fairgrounds and Racetrack
Description
An aerial view of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and racetrack in 1937, nine years after the fair attended by Basil Lee in F. Scott Fitzgerald's A Night at the Fair. The racetrack is the same as the one described in the story, which reveals the importance of the events put on in this specific area, considering its size in relation to the rest of the fair. - Bradford Gladstone
