July Public Day: Bill Cotter Signing the New York World's Fair

Join us for an exciting open day at Walt Disney’s Barn, hosted by the Carolwood Foundation! 🏡 On this special day, celebrated author Bill Cotter will be signing his insightful books about the 1964-65 New York World's Fair.

Walt Disney famously contributed four iconic pavilions to the fair: it’s a small world, Progressland, Ford's Magic Skyway, and Mr. Lincoln for the State of Illinois. 📚 Guests can purchase books at our gift shop and are welcome to bring other works by Bill Cotter for signing.

Discover breathtaking displays, including treasures from the backyard railroads of Walt Disney, Ward Kimball, and Ollie Johnston, as well as a model of Disneyland's classic Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland attraction. 🚂
