Walt Disney Birthplace Preservation Project

Posted on December 22, 2013December 22, 2013 by Dave Tavres

Many of the places that helped make Walt Disney who he was and what we loved are gone but not forgotten. One such place is the home he, and Roy, was born in – 2156 Tripp Ave., Chicago, IL.

Want to be a tiny (or big) part of Walt Disney history? Contribute a few dollars (or a lot) to a project that is working to save, restore and preserve this wonderful piece of history.

Donate at www.TheWaltDisneyBirthplace.org or on Kickstarter

Regular updates will be posted on WaltsApartment.com Facebook, so share this on your social media sites and help get other Disney fans involved.
