Construction on the Rivers of America, December 26, 1955



Just recently noticed that this beautiful shot of the Mark Twain also includes some cool construction going on.

See more vintage Disneyland photos at my website.

Nice shot of the mill on Tom Sawyers Island under construction. I like the waterwheel just being framed.

Amazing!

After a second look, I am wondering if that is actual construction, or some sort of quick "mock up" so that the designers could get an idea of the final mill? It just looks so rickety and temporary, but I could be wrong. It's still super interesting, though!

I'm with the major on this one. Have you seen those similar images of mockups of Fort Wilderness?
