Walt Disney was an American entrepreneur, animator, and voice actor, best known for creating the iconic character Mickey Mouse. He was born on this day, December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois, to parents of German and Irish descent.
Disney spent most of his childhood in Missouri, where he developed a love for drawing and art. He worked as a commercial illustrator in his early years, and eventually moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in animation.
π He won 22 Academy Awards and was nominated for 59 others.
π Disney created the first synchronized sound and color cartoons, including Steamboat Willie, which introduced the world to Mickey Mouse.
π He was the voice of Mickey Mouse for many years.
π Disneyland, the first theme park of its kind, opened in California in 1955.
π Disney World in Florida, which opened in 1971, remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Despite his immense success, Walt Disney faced many challenges throughout his life, including financial struggles and the loss of his mother at a young age. However, he persevered and created a legacy that has lasted for decades, inspiring generations of artists and animators to follow in his footsteps.

The public is invited to the 2023 Christmas Services of the Old Stone Church hosted by The Friends of The Old Stone Church on Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 4:00 PM. The Old Stone Church is located at 3507 180th Street, Muscatine, Iowa which is one and one-half miles north of Wild Cat Den State Park.
Muscatine's Old Stone Church is a fully restored historic church built by the county's early settlers. In 1867, a group of pioneers of German heritage needed a place of worship for their German Methodist Episcopal congregation. Their faith was such that they hand quarried the stone near Pine Creek one-half mile to the west and built the church themselves.
After the congregation abandoned the church in 1910, it had many uses and slowly deteriorated. This included being used as a machine shop and later for storing oats and hay. Eventually the building was abandoned entirely. In 2006 the Friends of the Old Stone Church was formed to restore the church. After several years of work, the church was ready. The first event held in the restored church was a Christmas Service in 2010, one hundred years after the last use.
Today the Old Stone Church is available to families and groups for a variety of uses. The church is owned by The Friends of the Old Stone Church, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is part of the Muscatine Area Heritage Association.
To make a donation or to obtain information on using the church for an event, contact: John Scott, President, phone 563-299-8205, e-mail: jscott@machlink.com.
