Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln was originally housed in the Illinois pavilion - and the show premiered at Disneyland in July of 1965 before the fair closed in New York. It was the first time a Disney attraction played at the same time on both coasts.

Here's a view of the Illinois pavilion as you walked up to it in 1964.

And here's a view of the entry court to the building - note Lincoln's words on the walls.

Below is Mr. Lincoln's current home at Disneyland.

The fourth attraction, The Ford Wonder Rotunda didn't make it complete to Disneyland, but we still see the dinosaurs from it on the train ride between Tomorrowland and Main Street. Here's what the dinos look like today...

Again, I want to thank Bruce Graebner for the kind use of his photos.
