Small Town Showcase - Marceline, MO
Fox & Friends in Marceline
Marceline, Missouri is a charming small town steeped in nostalgia and creativity, famously known as the boyhood home of Walt Disney.
Located in the heartland of America, Marceline left an indelible mark on young Walt, inspiring much of the idealized Americana seen in Disney’s later work – most notably, Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland.
This railroad town – built by the Santa Fe Railroad – with our tree-lined streets and friendly pace, embodies the kind of community spirit that shaped Disney’s early imagination and storytelling.
Today, visitors can explore the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, housed in the old Santa Fe depot, and walk in the footsteps of the legendary animator. Marceline is more than just a historical footnote – we’re a living testament to the roots of Disney magic and a compelling destination for anyone seeking the birthplace of a dream.
