Even in 1968 this exhibit was old and tired. It was originally showcased as the prime feature of the State of Illinois Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair. One year after its debut at the World's Fair, the show opened at Disneyland, where it has undergone several changes and periods of hiatus over the years. Today Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln is an element of the Disneyland attraction "The Disneyland Story - presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln," which opened in 2009.
