The website Illuminations: Revisiting the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition 1901, http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/exhibits/panam/index.html, is a great site for learning more about this time period in American history. You can read about what was popular and look at documents and ephemera including maps of the Exposition, advertisements, and articles about innovations. You can get an idea of what the Exposition grounds looked like through a souvenir booklet digitized at http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/exhibits/panam/booklets/100views/100views.pdf.
Lots of different kinds of documents can be seen at this website. A menu for the Pabst restaurant can be found here http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/exhibits/panam/food/pabstmenu.html. If you’re curious about what things cost during 1901 and how much people made during this time, you can look at this link http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/exhibits/panam/food/profiles.html#everyday.
