70th Anniversary of the Golden Gate International Exposition

In 1939 and 1940, the years most known for New York's world's fair, San Francisco also hosted a large exposition on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay. It was San Francisco's third and last (so far) international exposition.

Today's San Francisco Chronicle has an article today about the exposition with some photos:
