Fun Facts

Flora Disney, Walt's mother, designed the house where he was born, and his father, Elias Disney, built it in 1893.

The Disney family resided in the house from 1893 to 1906, during which time Walt was born and spent his early childhood.

In 2013, the house was saved from demolition and is now being restored to its original condition to honor Walt Disney's legacy.

The Walt Disney Birthplace House is located in the Hermosa neighborhood, which is recognized for its historical significance in Chicago.

Efforts are underway to restore the house as a museum dedicated to Walt Disney's early life and his family's history.

The restoration of the Walt Disney Birthplace House is intended to serve as an educational resource to inspire creativity and innovation in children.
