Walt Disney’s Barn

Walt Disney loved trains!

“In some way of other, I have always loved trains.”

“I just want it to look like nothing else in the world… and it should be surrounded by a train.”

Along with the railroad, Mr. Disney built a barn, a place where he and his mother could monitor and control the railroad.

Built in 1950 with 2615 feet of track, including a 46 foot long trestle and a 90 foot tunnel.

Disney named the train after the street name where he lived. Mr. Disney and his friends would hang out in the barn, playing with real trains.

The Barn is open on the 3rd Sunday of each month from 11-3.

The Barn is maintained by the Carolwood Foundation.
