No, but I did attend the 1893 Chicago International World's Fair. You can read all about it in the book The Devil in the White City, Murder, Madness and Magic at the fair that changed America, by Erik Larson (seriously, one of the best books of the past year, clearly superior to MY LIFE.) Get a copy. Now in paperback. Their fates were linked by the magical Chicago World ’s Fair of 1893, nicknamed the “White City” for its majestic beauty. Architect Daniel Burnham built it; serial killer Dr. H. H. Holmes used it to lure victims to his World’s Fair Hotel, designed for murder. Both men left behind them a powerful legacy, one of brilliance and energy, the other of sorrow and darkness. Here, then, is your ticket to the greatest fair in history—a place where incredible dreams came to life alongside darkest nightmares.
