Helen Keller visited the World's Fair for three weeks in the summer of 1893 with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, and with the inventor (and her friend) Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. The president of the fair, Mr. Higinbotham, gave her permission to touch the exhibits.

Helen visited the Midway Plaisance, where she experienced many of the world's marvels, including the bazaars of India, a model of Cairo with camels and mosques, and the lagoons around Venice. She also boarded a Viking ship and a saw a model of the Santa Maria, where a replica of Columbus's hourglass made her appreciate how scared Columbus must have felt as his men planned to kill him. She also saw the Cape of Good Hope exhibit, in which she learned about how diamonds are mined. She was introduced to new forms of technology, such as the telephone and phonograph, and Alexander Graham Bell explained them to her. Finally, she saw anthropological relics, which she credited with helping her understand the progress of humans. 

Touching the exhibits with her hands, Helen referred to them as "a sort of tangible kaleidoscope." In her time at the fair, she learned a great deal about the world and about new forms of technology, and she learned a large number of new words.
