Liberty Street

Liberty Street was a scrapped themed "land" that was supposed to be constructed at Disneyland. It was originally going to be located within the east side of Main Street, U.S.A., but ended up getting scrapped.
==History==
In 1956, one year after Disneyland opened, Walt Disney announced plans for a Liberty Street located on the east side of Main Street, U.S.A. where it was supposed to be set in the area where the Mad Hatter store was at around this time with a proposed opening date on fall 1957. The architecture would have been themed around a mixture of several American cities that existed during the nation's early years. Concept designs for this proposed land would have included thirteen buildings paying a tribute to the original early thirteen colonies, which consisted of merchants and trades in the early times in the United States.
In addition to these, Liberty Square would have featured a major attraction, the Hall of Presidents (under the title "One Nation Under God"), which was in development around this time before the Audio-Animatronics were invented where the figures of the presidents would have been displayed as wax figures instead. Another attraction that was considered for this land was "The Hall of Declaration of Independence", which would have showcased a story around the origins of Independence Day through scenes inspired by famous paintings around that time in history. Other projects occupied Walt's time, especially when the Audio-Animatronics became part of the Disney Parks industry where they were deemed ideal to be used in the Hall of Presidents attraction using these for the proposed concept.
Liberty Street remained scrapped, due to the fact that Walt had a lot of plans while developing Disneyland around the time. A similar-themed land, "Liberty Square", opened at the Magic Kingdom, inspired by Walt's proposed plans to build Liberty Street in California, still featuring the Hall of Presidents attraction in it.
