Flashback: 1933 World's Fair
Ken Hedrich peered through his camera 75 years ago and captured the images of his age. Now, those photographs of the Century of Progress Exposition -- the World's Fair that opened on Chicago's lakefront in 1933 -- are being readied for a new life on the Internet. More than 200 photos have been scanned and digitalized in preparation for posting later this year by the Chicago History Museum.
