A: The original version of the show that ran at the New York World’s Fair is the one that was brought to Disneyland, where it opened in July 1965. It was a duplicate Audio-Animatronics® Lincoln because the original one was still running at the fair. The show continued until it was replaced by The Walt Disney Story in 1973. It returned in 1975 as The Walt Disney Story Featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. A new Lincoln slide show and animation was added in 1984, and in 2001 the show was changed to focus on the Civil War, with Lincoln reciting the Gettysburg Address. The show closed from 2005 to 2009, for a Disneyland 50th-anniversary attraction, but when Lincoln returned, a shortened version of the original speech was featured.
