February 6, 2012: Visit the Cuba at the World’s Fair

Visit Cuba poster from the 1939 NY World's FairOnce again Ms. Laura McCarthy submitted something I had not seen before; this poster inviting people to visit Cuba.

The Cuban Villages was in the Amusement Zone along with Florida, and was an authentic recreation of a village from Cuba complete with the Yanego rites dance performed by native Cubans. There was also an exact replica of “Sloppy Joe’s” famous Havana Bar.

Visit the Cuban Village at on the 1939 NY World’s Fair web site.
