Walt Disney, Young Artist

Walt Disney began drawing regularly when he was four years old.  He was encouraged by his aunt and a neighbor to draw.  Walt lived in Marceline, Missouri then, and he found his life there memorable and happy.  He loved Marceline so much that he created Main Street in many of his theme parks to resemble Marceline's Main Street.

In Marceline was a large cottonwood tree that young Walt called his "Dreaming Tree" where he would retreat to let his mind wander.


Have a good day somewhere under YOUR "Dreaming Tree"!
