The most recent episode of Timeless took place at this World's Fair. It was a bit educational on the time period. Along with some random trivia that was mentioned, these historical people were portrayed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._H._Holmes - Serial killer - Also mentioned in the 2nd episode of Sherlock this season

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Hayden - First female architect graduate from MIT

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Houdini - Needs no intro?

I wish more history could be worked into regular television shows.
