New 'History of Venice' column out in July 2021 issue of Venice Living magazine!

VHM Board Historian, Elayne Alexander, just published an article about the history of Venice's Midway Plaisance, a festival of fun houses, amusements, and sensory delights that entertained visitors to Venice shortly after its founding in 1905 until it was replaced by the famed rollercoaster, "Race through the Clouds", in 1911.

​You can find the article in the July 2021 issue of local magazine, Venice Living, where our team has a recurring column called 'History of Venice' — or enjoy it right here on our blog, reprinted with the blessing of publisher, Carole Stein.
