In 1964 Beverly's father was asked to prepare a survey of 12,450 acres that must be completed within six weeks. This is the story behind that survey and the additional tracts and parcels that became the 27,443 acres that we know today as Walt Disney World. Th keynote presentation will cover a bit of local history and the technology of the day that was used to establish the boundary lines in the woods and swamps of Central Florida almost sixty years ago and led to what, at the time, was the largest private construction project in the United States.
