Many states participated in the fair with elaborate buildings designed to showcase their state and the products within. These buildings were located in different areas of the fair.
			As a rule, these State buildings are merely handsome club houses for the comfort and convenience of the people from the several States, though some buildings; such as [[Alaska]], displayed their resources. Many of them had restaurants that fairgoers could use to sample regional cuisine.
			On Independence Day, 179,258 people visited the Fair. They were all encouraged to visit their `home' state building where they could sign a registry. Free gift souvenirs and token were given out that day.

==Non-Participating States==
The following states did not have an official state building at the Fair.

=== Alabama ===
Alabama made no appropriation from its treasury for an official building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. Taxes could not allow the city of Birmingham to raise the capitol.

=== Delaware ===
Delaware had no official building as well as no official entries or exhibits at the 1904 World's Fair.

=== Florida ===
Florida did not have an official building but did show an expensive fruit exhibit in the Palace of Agriculture.

=== Hawaii ===
Hawaii did not have an official building and at the last minute, due to funding issues, they had to back out. They did have some displays in the [[US Government Building]].

===Nebraska===
Nebraska did not have an official state building. Headquarters were established at Block 57, main aisle in the [[Palace of Agriculture]], where reception rooms, a post office, lavatories and all conveniences are found.

=== North Carolina ===
North Carolina did not have an official state building.

===North Dakota===
North Dakota did not have an official building, the commission decided to pool their $50,000 appropriation for exhibits at the Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy (lignite and Portland cement), Education, Agriculture (their principal display), Horticulture and Forestry, Fish and Game.

===Puerto Rico===
Puerto Rico did not have an official building, but in the Palace of Agriculture, not far from the main entrance, was found the Puerto (spelled Porto back then) Rico section. Built by native architect, Armando Morales, and cost 5,000 dollars, it was in the nature of a pagoda of two floors. The lower one was dedicated to agriculture, mines, forestry, and a few of the manufactures exhibits.

On the second floor were the liberal arts and manufactures exhibits and the offices of the commission; also the needlework display, which was collected and exhibited by the Women's Aid Society, San Juan, and the Benevolent Society, Ponce.

===Wyoming===
Wyoming had no state building; its appropriation of $25,000 was devoted entirely to exhibits in the Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and Agriculture.

Wyoming was one of the few states to have its exhibit practically complete upon the opening day and thus was dedicated on April, 30, 1904, though Wyoming Day was celebrated on July 11th with a military parade and other ceremonies, finishing with a reception at the [[Inside Inn]].

One person in every fifty residents that lived in Wyoming saw the World's Fair.
