WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — New England’s largest fair is set to pay homage to one of the world’s most iconic fairs this fall.

The special exhibit, which will be housed in the Young Building, will feature a large collection of Ford’s World’s Fair memorabilia, including a scale model of the Ford Pavilion and an authentic 1965 Mustang.

In total, over 250 artifacts and souvenirs are expected to be on-display.
The centerpiece of the exhibit will be a seven foot tall recreation of the “Unisphere” globe, which was an iconic symbol of the World’s Fair and still stands in Queens, New York.
The 2014 Big E is scheduled from September 12 to 28, 2014 on the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds in West Springfield.
