Artist's rendering of the Oklahoma Pavilion
OKLAHOMA AT THE WORLD'S FAIR

An artist's conception of Oklahoma's exhibit at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. The Oklahoma exhibit features on the left the huge federal pavilion and on the right the Unisphere, symbol of the fair. The white, wing-like Bell System pavilion is shown in the center background.

Oklahoma's exhibit is located in the central area of the fairground, occupying a 68,000 square foot site that is landscaped to provide a relaxing retreat for the fair visitor. The central feature in this natural outdoor setting is a sunken 100 foot long relief type map of the state, emphasizing water development and industrial potential and the recreational advantage of Oklahoma.

A corner of the United States Pavilion shows on the left side of the photograph. Oklahoma benefited from its close proximity to the Federal Pavilion.
