Liberty Square opened as part of the Magic Kingdom and
Walt Disney World's grand opening on October 1, 1971 as
one of the original six themed lands. It is located in the
northwest corner, bordering Fantasyland and Frontierland.
The Square also has bridges to the park's central hub, as
well as Adventureland. Forming its western border is the
Rivers of America, on which the Liberty Belle travels. It is also
the smallest land by guest area in the Magic Kingdom.
It is the only land yet to undergo a major refurbishment. All of
the attractions, original from October 1, 1971, still exist in
some form or another. No major additions have been made.
The theming in the Square is comprehensive and accurate to
the time period, from major architectural and engineering
homages to the small antiques and artifacts peppered
throughout the many attractions and dining locations.
Design:
Liberty Square begins an architectural progression through
history and geographically across the United States. This
progression begins with the Haunted Mansion ( 1670s or
'80s, upstate New York) and travels clockwise around the
Rivers of America into Frontierland terminating at Big
Thunder Mountain Railroad (1880s, southern California).
Find the replica of the House of Burgesses and look in the
upstairs window to find Paul Revere's lanterns signifying "two
if by sea".
The Liberty Tree is an actual 100-year-old oak found on the
property and transplanted, with a younger oak grafted into
the base.
The Liberty Bell replica was cast from the mold of the actual
Liberty Bell in Pennsylvania. It is the only bell ever cast from
these molds.
There are architectural representations of each of the original
13 colonies.
The state flags of each of the original 13 states, as well as
the American flag, fly in a plaza in the center of Liberty
Square.
Attractions:
The Hall of Presidents, a show on American history featuring
Audio-Animatronic figures of every past and present U.S.
President.
The Haunted Mansion, an omnimover ride through a spooky
house with 999 ghosts.
Liberty Square Riverboat, a leisurely sail around the Rivers of
America on the Liberty Belle Riverboat.

The Golden Horseshoe Saloon, Originally host to a
western-style revue show, now a "meet-and-greet" location
for characters from the Disney-Pixar Toy Story movies.
